I have some awesome footage from the 79 highlights vid - but cannot remember where I downloaded it from. Howard Quam's Flap Jack singing along at 90mph with those motors screaming was indeed it seems a site and sound to behold. That's what I couldn't understand when I grew up - people on the seafront at Cowes were watching what I was watching and some just were walking away! From that sound?! No soul!!!!!!
