In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1969, witnessing a moment of pure jubilation. The crew of the victorious boat Avenger Too is caught in an exhilarating celebration after triumphing in the Portsmouth leg of the Round Britain Powerboat Race. The image showcases three drenched figures, their faces beaming with joy as they raise champagne bottles high above their heads. Each drop of bubbly seems to symbolize their hard-fought victory and unyielding determination throughout the grueling race. At the center stands Timo Makinen, the captain exuding an aura of leadership and accomplishment. Flanking him on either side are Alan Pasco-Watson and Brian Hendicott, both equally elated by their collective achievement. Their soaked clothes cling tightly to their bodies, evidence of a relentless battle against wind and waves. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates not only a specific moment but also an entire era – the swinging sixties – where celebrating success was done with flair and style. It serves as a reminder that even amidst intense competition, camaraderie can flourish. As we gaze upon this frozen frame in time, we cannot help but feel inspired by these triumphant sailors who dared to push boundaries and emerged victorious against all odds.
