Thunder on the Narrows is perhaps the quintessential powerboat racing event on the Chesapeake Bay every year (PropTalk loves the Cambridge Classic and Hampton Cup Regatta, too) and this year we were able to go onboard with Summer National Champion Jimmy Stewart in his new Jersey Speed Skiff JS-72 Zakaru. Team PropTalk staffer Nathan Bickel put together this great video with footage from land as well as a special seat right next to Stewart as he races around the buoys, thanks to a specially mounted GoPro camera.
If you've ever wondered what it is like to skim across the water at more than 100 mph, check out the video below. PropTalk covers many powerboat racing events on the Chesapeake every year. Look for us next at the Cambridge Classic Powerboat Regatta July 27 and 28 at Great Marsh Park in Cambridge, MD.
