Hannes Bohinc - 3

months in a career already lauded as one of the best in the history of powerboat racing.

In 2009, the OSG Racing team of Bohinc, Giancarlo Cangiano and Giovanni Carpitella were crowned P1 Powerboat Evolution Class World Champions.

They finished a magnificent campaign with a grand total of 811 points, 26 ahead of their nearest rivals.

The winner of three Grand Prix events and podium finishes in eight of a possible ten races, the SNAV OSG was the Championship’s dominant boat.

Bohinc returned to Cowes in both 2009 and 2010, looking to become only the only the fourth man in history to win the prestigious Cowes Torquay Cowes race three times.

Though he was denied on both occasions, first by a ruptured fuel tank just 1.5 miles from the finish line, then by power loss in the starboard engine, the Austrian remains determined to succeed again off the English south coast.

Following such a long and successful career in one of the most dangerous sports around, Bohinc’s life philosophy remains: “In business and racing matters, it is the same… no risk, no fun!”
