Aaron Ciantar (ITA)
Pilot
Aaron Ciantar has grown up with the fast boats produced by his family business, Chaudron Boats. Since his Powerboat P1 debut in 2004 at his home round of Malta, Ciantar has shown the flair of a daring giant-killer as he and his sister, Audrienne, have wrung every last gram of performance from their small 33ft Chaudron, humbling boats with faster hulls and more powerful engines. In 2005, the Ciantar siblings finished an impressive third in the SuperSport championship. Insiders say Aaron is fearless at the wheel and possesses a rare natural talent. Such skill has been fostered through his work at Chaudron Boats and he spends much of his time at sea. When not at the wheel of a powerboat, though, the 28-year-old pursues a keen interest in drag racing.

Nicknamed ‘The President’, Angelo prefers longer races, which place greater emphasis on driving skill and navigational prowess. His favourite races, though, are the ones in which his team wins...
