Mar. 03, 1971 - Miss Guernsey Catamaran has World-Title pace.: Miss Guernsey, an unconventional new catamaran powered by a single eight-litre American Mercruiser inboard engine and outdrive unit, delivered yesterday to Guernsey businessman Colin Banks, representative a bold challenge for the Offshore Powerboat Drivers World Championship. The craft is nominally only a Class II entrant, but potentially Miss Guernsey is the world's fastest offshore powerboat with a 100 m.p.h. smooth-water capability. The Union Internationale Motonautique have yet to pronounce on the legality of turbo - charging - although two world championships events have already been raced - but Banks is confident that he will be allowed to supercharge Miss Guernsey power output to over 700 horsepower.
