Hi Marco, CoGeMe has been the first boat I drove in class 1 (Trieste 1991) At that time I was the driver and Gianluigi Coletti was the throttleman. I have lost all the photos regarding that race. Do you have some more picture? The boat was really not so performing but has been the first class 1 boat for me and I have so many and beautiful memories...
Are you in Italy or in USA? waiting for your reply

Hi all.

If Notareal became Fleetlease, the boat is alive and well in Melbourne Australia,

Fleetlease was raced by Graeme Horne in New Zealand for a few years before he had a very bad crash in Auckland in 1996, which left him badly injured.

The boat sat around for a few years before Tony Low (multiple Australian champion) brough the boat into Australia in about 2002, He replaced the deck with a fibreglass deck and cockpits taken from an early Victory boat owned by Steve Searle in Australia. The boaty never ran too well and sunk off the Gold Coast, It was recovered and Tony has it for sale. See link below (the boat is bottom of the page).

I remember the crash i Öregrund. I saw it with my own eyes. My friend Per Benson was on that boat when i crashed.

The boat just turned 180 and flipped over.
