As even the most casual offshore powerboat racing fans know, Noble stepped into the team’s new 38-foot Skater Powerboats catamaran for his father, Robert “JR” Noble, who died before the 2016 season began. Noble and Bruggemann ran a strong first-season together and finished third-place overall at in Key West. In more than a few ways, it was the feel-good story of the year.

The video includes in-cockpit and exterior footage as well as interviews with Noble and Bruggemann, who raced with JR for years, Noble’s aunt, Shari, and fellow Superboat-class competitor Billy Mauff.
