About the Apache cat in the accident I think was the wodden one red and white that you think became the Ragazzi's Fresh & Clean-Loro Piana. Not the white one that I think was,like the Wildcat and the Canada Home-Samsonite, built in fiberglass.

Black Tornado,
Seems from info from this thread it must of been the first boat #96 Team Apache, I remember seeing it fly away from a great distance in Sodus Pt. 1986. Consequently the race was black flagged. It was only moments after the start in reported 10 foot seas.

I did not see it up close. I do have a snap shot of the #96 Team Apache in Miami Oct.'86 It has a different paint scheme then the photo you displayed in post #31. It does appear to be the same boat.

Very interesting pics,MOBILEMERCMAN!
The first two are the Apache/Maelstrom 41' in the same paint scheme of that in the first pic in my post #31 before the accident.
The third pic it's the tin Cougar 35' that Sal Magluta lent to Kramer to be able to win the title APBA that year.
