If you left coast guys want to see some old school running from that neck of the woods, click on
www.bananaboatco.com
and go to the section called media archives. Between the Autoweek and Esquire magazine articles is an old Super 8 Home movie of the California Bushmills race from 1979 .
Cool video. Thanks
It is about 25 minutes long, but the start is at the 7 minute mark and that was a run down to Dana Point from Newport Beach. Around the 20 minute mark is the oil island turn point before heading to Catalina.
Enjoy.

Old thread, but for those who still have offshore racing on their bucket list, there will be the Don Aronow Memorial Around Long Island race on August 22 nd. Come for the party on Friday the 21 st and meet some of the old racers.
This year we also have a Rally. A team of four boats can divide the distance and each boat can run 1/4 of the distance. Not a race, but you still get to compete over the same waters that have produced such great races of the past. Come and join us.
