Deadly flights

[flying fish]

The spinning propeller of the six ton powerboat knocked off the engine cover and missed the yachtsman`s head by two feet.The powerboat kept going and disappeared in a cloud of spray.I think from memory it was Ford Persuader.Torbay 73.
Fancy a trip out in that to photo Colibri Nigel.It was a near miss that day with Della valle one side and Pironi the other.

Hey gramps I forgot that you were on board too that day! In fact wasn't it a mate of yours who was captain for the day? Shall never forget when those class 1's came screaming by....

Never forgot the "Colibri" after seeing it in Arendal, Norway, 1987! Here`s my way of honor the boat & the crew.

If anyone have more pics or video, please notify me!!!
