With the increasing use of the Internet for Offshore Powerboat information
and communication, I thought it would be a good idea to publish the Internet Mail
addresses of people connected with the sport, as a sort of Telephone Directory which spans
the World of Offshore Powerboat Racing.
Listed below are the e-mail addresses of Officials, Boat Manufacturers,
Competitors and people involved in the Sport. I have indicated the frequency the person
reads his/her e-mail so you if your communication is urgent - you can give them a call or
send a fax.
