Dry Martini 1983 Miami

[littlenige]

Does anybody know the story behind this boat? I was at the Cougar yard in 1983/4 and was told that this was a bit 'hush hush' for some reason. It's an Excalibur hull going by what's on the side of the boat, but I was wondering who owned it? Was it ever raced? What became of it?

i'd have to say thats one of the raciest big excaliburs i've ever seen.

The only thing against it being a racer are the 'small' exhaust pipes. My curiosity stems really from the exact match of typeface in the name - the same as on all previous Dry Martini racers. Does anybody know if Davey Wilson reads this forum? He was racing in Europe a couple of years before this shot in the racing Martini monohull. Would he possibly know the answer??

Post this over in the excalibur section, and I bet you could get the story on it.

Anybody got a clue? I can't believe that all you folks over there in Fla. don't know something about it between you!!!!!!!!!
