May 28-29 we raced the first Swedish 2011 FSR-H hydro nationals of the season and also the OTA 3.5 cc class (Outboard stock tunnels). Booth 3.5 cc classes where held on Saturday and 7.5 & 15 cc hydros where raced on Sunday.The weather forecast was far from promising and it was quite a lot of wind (around 6-7 m/s). But it was not extremely bad water - just bad... But for sure it was far from being perfect!
(I forgot the camera battery on charge at home this weekend so all shots where made with my iPhone.)
TecnoPower race report.
Sometimes the sun came out but it was never "warm".
Stefan raced his new BlackBird G2 for the first time. This is on Friday practice. It looked really good on the water - even in the rough. Chris has done a good job developing it! :)
Mr. Sunken (Micke) testing one of his KEP's T2 .21 riggers on Friday. It looked good but he didnt dare to race it as his first boat on Saturday. Its a TecnoPower M03 engine in it that feels very promising.
Micke's stack of riggers.
My Aquacraft TS3 stock tunnel. It was quite fast and it handled the rough water really good - equally good as the best HTB290 I think.

I finished 4:th in H7.5 with my KEP's T2 .21 boat but with a TP .23 engine in it! It was a handful in the very rough water (it only weights 1.6 kg!).
