Without safety and rescue professionals, offshore powerboat racing does not exist—it’s an inherently dangerous, sometimes lethal motorsport. That is where safety director Shawn Steinert and the SSR team come in.

For offshore racers, Steinert and company are the angels of the sky and water, the options of last resort. And leading the SSR team is a job that Steinert, a former Orlando firefighter/paramedic and water-extraction specialist, was born to do. Steinert and key members of his group—all experienced first-responders trained to the highest level—literally wrote the book on offshore racing rescue methods and protocols.
