Not quite deadly flight
The spinning propeller of the six ton powerboat knocked off the engine cover and missed the yachtsman`s head by two feet.The powerboat kept going and disappeared in a cloud of spray.I think from memory it was Ford Persuader.Torbay 73.
Fancy a trip out in that to photo Colibri Nigel.It was a near miss that day with Della valle one side and Pironi the other.

Hey gramps I forgot that you were on board too that day! In fact wasn't it a mate of yours who was captain for the day? Shall never forget when those class 1's came screaming by....
