For the second year in a row, Mike Malewicki proved he was the fastest lobster boat captain in Beverly, Mass., last weekend. In fact, Malewicki, driving Janie M, his 37-year-old wooden lobster boat, won two of the six races there to keep his crown. Janie M is powered by a 300-hp John Deere diesel.

Therese Sauvageau, the captain of Sea Anchor, who has competed every year in the race’s 22-year-history, was happy, because she actually beat Janie M by half a boat length in one heat. “I usually come in second or third,” she said.

After the races, some of the captains headed back to the dock for a lobster banding competition. For his part, Malewicki had to leave to pick up bait for his next haul.
