Subject: Don Aronow Race Memorial Marathon

There are no required stopping stations. Some boats are equipped to carry enough fuel, but they will have the option of refueling at any marina they choose.

We will start and stop at buoy #27 off of Port Washington, Long Island Sound, north of Great Neck.
The fleet will initially proceed North on Long Island Sound, keeping the north shore of Long Island to starboard. After passing Orient Pt Lighthouse (N41.156427 by W 72.24187) and Montauk Point Lighthouse (N41.071577 by W 71.861572), they will proceed South, past Freeport and the Rockaways/Brooklyn, and then enter the Hudson River under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. They will proceed on the Easterly side of Governor's Island to the East River and travel the Easterly side of Roosevelt Island to "Hell's Gate" and Northerly past Riker's Island, under the Whitestone Bridge, under the Throggs Neck Bridge into Long Island Sound, and end just past Great Neck at Buoy #27. ]]> Classic Offshore Billy Frenz http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/classic-offshore/238670-help-needed-spotters-don-aronow-marathon-sept-18th.html sunrunner boats http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/classic-offshore/238390-sunrunner-boats.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:28:03 GMT i have a 1988 21cc sunrunner boat 400hp saris racing small block vortec 290aq drive 15x23ss bronson hill prop how good are these boats in rough water long island sound etc looking to go over to long island on the 18th to watch the race around long island thanks i have a 1988 21cc sunrunner boat 400hp saris racing small block vortec 290aq drive 15x23ss bronson hill prop how good are these boats in rough water long island sound etc looking to go over to long island on the 18th to watch the race around long island thanks ]]> Classic Offshore innerrage http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/classic-offshore/238390-sunrunner-boats.html Cowes 2010 http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/classic-offshore/238309-cowes-2010-a.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:56:14 GMT Some old school machinery.

BLUE WATER WARRIORS

The photo shown is of a 40 foot ....what? They were popular in the mid 70's and won some races in a commanding fashion.

So, who knows what brand of boat these were and who was the crewman on this boat that was also on The Cigarette when it won the Bahamas 500?

Advanced copies of the book can be seen at the Don Aronow Around Long Island Marathon on Sept 18th in Port Washington, NY.

Don't find many guys that have seen one rigged for outboard. I got this boat running today for the first time since it was stuck in the barn 15 years ago. It was bought brand new in 1975 by my dad. I rescued it about 2 years ago and finally got a chance to get it finished up this week, Still needs a few small parts, but I fired it up today and it runs like we put it up yesterday. It is a special boat that I hope will stay in the family for a long time.

PS. If anyone knows where a 150 6 cylinder Merc is that is 1975 model. Needs to be a good piece.

I am a buyer as that is the way the boat was rigged at the dealership and I want to eventually get it back that way.

As many of you know, HORBA was started a few years ago as a non profit organization with two goals:
1. Save the old race boats before they are cut up and thrown away.
2. Try to get real open ocean racing started again and get the boats off the beach.

Well thanks to California HORBA members, we have just been notified of a most generous donation for our someday to come museum.

Everyone remembers Don Aronow's 32 foot Cary that he called The Cigarette after the famous Brooklyn rum runner of the 30's.

He built that boat in secret and actually had three of those boats built for himself. There was also a boat made for Peter Rothschild, Thunderballs and an outboard version for Willy Meyers, Cigarillo and another outboard for Bob Magoon, Andrea. Six boats in all.

We have just been notified that the owner of Thunderballs, the 32 Cary originally owned by Peter Rothschild has been donated to HORBA.

As far as we have been able to tell this is the last remaining 32 Cary race boat built in 1968 from those original 6. I asked the owner what the boat looked like now. He said the only difference is someone added a windscreen in front of the instrument cluster on the deck, but it could be easlily removed and the boat would look just like it did when it raced in 1969.

Incredible. It has rare number 2 Speedmasters and two sets of, the then cutting edge, 2 blade racing propellors. It has the open front bolster that was used at that time. It has the same tri cornered fuel fills and low air vents on the rear hatches.

Our intent is to restore the boat to look exactly like...The Cigarette. It is the last of that 1/2 dozen and is so original as to be an example of offshore racers of that period.

HERE IS WHERE YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

The boat is in California, Napa Valley. We need to move it to Florida for the restoration.

Would it be possible for any teams coming east to LOTO take an extra truck and bring it there....and then if any Florida teams could bring an extra truck and bring it back to Florida. It is sitting on a triple axle trailer that is currently registered in California.

If that is not possible could we arrange a Pony Express transfer of the boat. Somebody in California bring it to Arizona. Someone in Arizona bring it to New Mexico. Someone in New Mexico bring it to Texas..etc etc until we get it back to Florida.

Everyone who helps along the way will be named and acknowledged as part of the permanent display and in all the literature re the boat in the future.

This is the past of the sport of offshore, it is important, please help.

Thanks
