I have some awesome footage from the 79 highlights vid - but cannot remember where I downloaded it from. Howard Quam's Flap Jack singing along at 90mph with those motors screaming was indeed it seems a site and sound to behold. That's what I couldn't understand when I grew up - people on the seafront at Cowes were watching what I was watching and some just were walking away! From that sound?! No soul!!!!!!

If Richie is right I'm so glad it wasn't done that way. I love the boat, the way it rides and the speed but I wear ear plugs to kill the sound it makes with wet transom pipes.
