One of the racers from Aft R U was killed in the barell rolling incident in barnegat Bay NJ in the late70's early 80's.

Lady L is still for sale.
It local to me.
Would need a good amount of work to bring it back.

The bow of the Signature 38' look like that of an unidentified boat #13 that appear in the picture on a my old thread.
Only the running strake seem not the same.

Contact Rich Luhrs - or Darren US1 - they have the complete NNRT Library - there were many scenes of your grandfather's boat - and I think some interviews as well - in the 1980s -
