Makes sense it wasn't one of the Banker Racing boats. The first of the Banker Racing B-7 boats was a 35 footer. Here's a photo of that one on Texoma in 1993.

That indicates that after Your 33, another open 35 was raced as B-7 too, and then finally the canopied boat. Can't wait to see this run. I'm partial to red boats. Used to own an all-red Round Britain race boat
for a while.

Jamie Coates was here in 3rd place, in his later Tivoli Fountain boat, when the dramatic, sad crash happened at the 1999 Chesapeake B-Class race. Very competitive and exciting racing,
but this could have ended so much worse. One of many times when the flipside characteristics of stepped hulls have been on display. It's good Your sweet hull doesn't have those,
well I'm not a fan as you can tell.
