I have a lot of pictures of boat, I was part on Nicky's team from 1988 till he he stopped racing his own boat.

Hey Cluster,
My Dad was the original owner of The Black Duck. He raced from 1981-1985. Nicky bought it in late 1985 and raced it until 1998 when the deck was blown off after he landed in a hole. I believe my dad won 27 of the 41 races he entered which was(probaly still is) the best of all time.
We still see Nicky all the time. In fact I just dropped my Scarab off at his marina for winter storage.
