Brewer takes silver at Chasewater race

Powerboats

Jelf Racing experienced mixed fortunes at the Powerboat GP Chasewater Grand Prix in Staffordshire last weekend.

In the junior GT15 class, Jonathan Brewer picked up a silver medal while fourth-placed George Elmore just missed out on a podium place.

Ben Jelf recorded three straight wins in the GT30 class and he did enough for silver in his F4 Catamaran.

But the return of the F2 Catamarans saw team manager Colin Jelf struggle with an engine problem which the team were unable to fix.
