The 1973 Lake Erie Kirby Classic it was the first major offshore race on the Great Lakes. The Mentor Yacht Club hoisted the event. Not only were the lakes at record high water levels, but the seas ran high, 5' to 7' and many boats did not finish the race. Impossible Dream a 40' Gara won ,with Aeromarine III taking second, followed by Aeromarine II in third.

The 1973 Kirby Classic and Lake Erie proved to much for many of the race teams. Veteran local racer Sandy Satullo sank when testing his new wooden 40' Gara COPPER KETTLE the day before the race. Also at the start of the race Wally Harper spun his 27' Magnum Lil SMIDGEN do to a broken drive. Wally and his codriver Jack Mathes Jr were thrown into the water. Sandy Satullo would have to use his old Cigarette to run the race.
