You are right Charlie.
I thought that the rumors about Clauser in a Bertram 38' Satisfaction was a novel.
In that Bacardi there was two Bounty and Martin didn't race with a leg inside a cockpit and the other one on the other cockpit....

Let me clarify....Menard didn't race until the following year, 1980....in the USA.
Marco that other boat you asked about, was the pace boat....it had a full glass windshield and hatches in the deck etc.
Also, someone said that Clauser was in the Copper Kettle, it was Arnold Glass.
Clauser was in the 35 Cigarette closest to the beach in the start photo # 56.

Jean Claude Simon designed the 38 and we agreed that the design would be one that we could block the mold and take a 34 or 33 or 35 or whatever out of the mold.
We were making both banana and Coyotes out of the same mold and I just got out of the business as interest rates were around 22% and gas prices etc....boat building was not my main business, so I let him continue on....eventually he saw the light too and sold the mold to Sonic.

Yes....and I notice that the cover is still on it....maybe if you had Bobby and Jason back then, the boat would have been all ready to go...... by the time the sleepy time driver woke up and got down to the dock.
