Lets hope for fewer restrictions in 2021 and we will be able to see some good old school racing next year!!

So sad to see daily pictures of this Ionic and Historic Offshore powerboat stored / locked away from the public eye in a shed near Swindon.
It is owned by the National Maritime Museum
Question is why it is stored away from the public eye ! Could she be relocated to another museum or perhaps allow a private collector to at least keep her in condition or maybe fully restore her!
Is there someone, who knows someone, who knows someone that may know of a way to allow her to be released for everyone to see.
