 Special
Notes
My name is Daniel McGrath and I am 9 years old. My boats called
Red Lightning becase it has got a picture of some red lightning
on the front! (and I'm also a fan on Harry Potter!) My dad (Neil
McGrath) helped me build it and I am going to race it against my
dads at our local pond and at Southend. It was quite hard driving
around the bouys to start with but I soon got the hang of it. My
dad crashed his boat but it was not badly damaged. Racing this boat
is great fun and I am looking forward to driving it again when the
weather improves.
Here are the stats for my boat.
