A huge Happy 50th Birthday to Mick!!!!

You are so loved and appreciated by the whole team aka ‘your family’. And when it came to your birthday present… well there was really only 1 option to go with…. KEY WEST BABY!!!!!!

Enjoy the World Championships and who knows, you may be out there one day kicking some arse!! Australian Champion is awesome, but World Champion has a nice ring to it 😉.

Enjoy Mick and we have to say, Angeleque definitely wins wife of the year 🙌. Happy Birthday 🍻🥂🍻🥂

At Hornet Racing, we take boat cleaning VERY seriously! 😂
Our new cleaner came highly recommended… apparently he’s got years of experience polishing decks and working the pole! 🧹👗🤣
We advertised for someone to clean the boat using a string mop…
This di****ad read it as “Clean the boat IN a G-string. He's been up there for three hours, hasn't cleaned a bloody thing, and keeps asking for tips! 💃🧹
We're never advertising on OnlyFans again

A huge thanks to Reg from EMB Photographics for capturing some amazing shots of our boats on the weekend!!

Not sure about you guys, but we think our boats look bloody hot 🔥 on the water.

Can’t wait to do it all again in February.

They say it takes a village, and when it comes to our team, it’s 100% a family affair. ❤️

But family extends far beyond blood. Every single person in this photo hustled their arse off this weekend, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved together.

With 3 boats on the water, that’s 6 engines, 6 crew members and a shore team that clocked up more kilometres than most people would in a week!

To every single member of our team, THANK YOU. For the hard work, the long hours, the commitment and the passion you bring to what we do. And a special thank you to Arthur, who backs us in everything we do.

All in all, a solid weekend with plenty to be proud of. We’ll take the wins, learn from the challenges and come back ready to do it all again.

Thanks, Lake Mac, for all the ❤️.

See you next year! 🏁

A huge congrats to Mark & Jordy who have had a great weekend in the Colonel… another win today in the Supersport85 category.

Our AUS 1 rocket powered through for P3 in the 2nd race 💪. Steve and Paul are getting a good handle on the boat and had a great first hit out.

Unfortunately our big girl dropped a blade on the starboard side prop. It managed to do some damage on the hull on the way out, but it’s fixable and we’ll be back stronger than ever in Melbourne next year.

Thats a wrap on Lake Mac. What an amazing venue and thank you to everyone for coming out to support us and the whole Series. 🙌🙌🙌

A good first race finishing P3️⃣

We had some great pace and were closing the gap to P2. It’s going to be on for the next race.

Let’s go team Hornet 👊👊
