Cork-based crew set new world record with Thunder Child II

The Irish-built James Bond-style wave-piercing vessel, Thunder Child II, has set what’s believed to be a new world record for the Cork-Fastnet-Cork trip in an over 50ft powerboat.
The Cork-based Safehaven Marine crew are now waiting for their time to be ratified by the power-boating governing body UIM - the Union Internationale Motonautique - before being declared an official record.
