With the start of the 2009 Powerboat P1 World Championship season just over a month away, last year's late-season wildcard entry is boldly proclaiming its Supersport Class intentions for the coming year. Though British by heritage, this team's brand new boat and power package maintains a distinctly American equipment strategy.
 
"Team 26" flew under the Konrad banner in a Mercury-powered Velocity during the second half of the 2008 Powerboat P1 season and stunned fans and teams alike by finishing an impressive third in their maiden race in Vigo, Spain last September. The team is set to offer more surprises this year in a new Donzi 38ZRC hull driven by twin Sterling V-8s from Detroit-area engine builder Mike D'Anniballe.
