A whole host of World Records tumbled after power boat crews took to Coniston Water once again.

The 52nd edition of the Water Speed Record event took place across last week - with organising now celebrating its success.

With 139 attempts being recorded across the run, a total of 10 World Records were smashed, along with 16 British records and two German records.

A spokesperson said: "[Everyone] should be extremely proud of everything that has been achieved this week in the Cathedral of World Water Speed Records.

"Records Week is the only event where all disciplines of powerboat craft can be seen competing in the same event, which is one of many attributes that make Records Week totally unique."

Each year, the event attracts international competitors, with one being 79-year-old Bob Wartinger from Seattle, a prolific record breaker who added a 143rd title to his list of accomplishments.

Hagen Jerzynski, from Berlin, achieved a new World and German National record of 86.33mph in the Pleasure Navigation Endurance Group B – Sport 450 (s) class - alongside co-pilot Stef Scheepers.

Attention is now turning to 2025, when Records Week will return to Coniston between November 3 and 7 - with plenty more spaces in the history books looking to be filled.
