Wow, thats a cool picture! I can see Dr Magoon's (?) 40 Cigarette there with open hatches.
Any more pictures from this event Steeb?

Titus-L,former Sunpropulser of 1973 wasn't a former Cary 32',like was the two Black Tornadoes.
Even if the engines hatches are similar to those of the The Cigarettes / Black Tornadoes the whole rest doesn't right.
Beginning from the lenght,33 feet, from the running strakes three up to bows instead of two, from the cockpit, from the hull and same sides, totally different.
Better info from the same author of the pics posted above,on the Graham's Offshore Library-Race Results on Boatmad site.

You are right,the 40 Cigarette in the background it's the former Magoon's US-1 of 1974,now renamed UFO II for Norman Barclays but with the original colours of the boat.
In 1976 the boat was sold to Michael Doxford becaming the first Limit Up.

What an asesome photo.

If you look closely to the right, you can see 2 quad outboard race boats. I remember seeing them race as a kid growing up in Point Pleasant NJ. They had 2 blade props, and I just thought that was the coolest look.

Like said from 7xchamp, PhilM and me in another Thread, this was another 36' driven by Sammy James in 1973.
