German SAW 2016 in Munich

[Darin Jordan]

The German SAW event is happening starting today in Munich! I don't know where there are any direct feeds of information, but HPR Powerboats, and others, are posting info on Facebook. I'll try to update this thread as I see more information.

I know that Tyler Garrard is in attendance, running a new Q-Hydro that Brian Buaas build for him and that Tyler powered up! (Brian's hull, Tyler's electronics!). He, and two others there, I believe including Joerg, are all going after the Overall record! Should be interesting!!

The event is held at the Olympic Rowing facility in Munich Germany.

Here is the video from last years event:

The evolution - 2000 to 2016. Quite a journey...

The evolution of fast electric. I don't miss round cells or brushed motors.

Is the there a list of all the results somewhere?
