The fact that the hull could carry that junk around up there is yet another testiment to Ken's boat building abilities....and Wellman's penchant for shortcuts.....

Not a famous wooden Cougar, but one built here in New Zealand in 1977, has had many owners, me being one, many engines and a lot of repairs, was still racing up until last year

I've lived in Cape Coral since the mid 70's and remember, vividly, the boat races into the mid 80's. Everyone would be tied up at the Cape Coral Yacht Club for the weekend. Wow, fun times. That's what got me hooked in offshore racing. I've got some pics of the wet pits at the yacht club from either 82 or 83, will scan and post soon. Thanks to you all for sharing your memories and photos with the rest of us!
Cheers - Matt

Here are pics of the 39' Conquest that we refinished and made into a pleasure cat for a customer.
Here is the old ROCKY boat in new form.

He has promised photos of the resto as he progresses, check the HORBA site in a few weeks.... www.historicraceboats.com |
Hey Charlie, greetings! Is there news on the restoration?
