Abstract

The article focuses on the battle between beverage companies at the powerboat world championship at Key West, Florida. Wally Franz of Brazil was victorious over rival Carlo Bonomi of Italy, whose Dry Martini grabbed the first place in the competition. Franz, an electrical equipment manufacturer, and Bonomi got into powerboat racing due to their big love of the sea and not because of the sleek equipment that they use. According to the author, it is refreshing that a Brazilian won in a game that the Italians, Americans and the English seem to own.
