I hope that old school fans will be able to attend Cowes next year - the 50th anniversary! A number of old school boats will hopefully be there. Should be a week long event, possibly to include the P1 racers also. Boatmad will have more details on the forum pages. Richie - you up for it?!

Nige....we have been working on some sponsorship for the Round Ireland race in June of next year......would there be storage for any of the boats coming over that wanted to do both races??

Charlie - I suggest putting it out there on the boatmad site - I'd hope that something could be arranged. Ask Jon Fuller or Ciao.

Speaking of Cowes, how is this pic of the start of the 1979 race.. This race had many of the big names there, even the #420 Magnum Sedan was in the race....

Ahr yes - Berger Paints/Snoopy! For sale in the UK right now, for 15,000 pounds. (Isle of Wight I think). Shall try and find a link.

Sold for £6 k last time it changed hands to the current owner, dont know if they have done much work on it though.

Thank's for the info,, I like the bolster.

Hi Nigel: I am definitly up for it, unfortunatly my financial situation is not. I would love to come back to the greatest race in the world, especially having won the race three out of five times entered, and a holder of a record speed for the round trip of 79.8 mph in Satisfaction with Bill Elswick. Maybe we can find some sponsors who would be interested in picking up the tab ???????? I would love to visit Cowes again, and recall some great times we all had, I presume you will try and make it as well, it would not be complete if we didnt have the whole team together. We`ll see how things shake out.

Nigel, is there any homepage with info about this? What do you think, whould we be welcome to race with our 28 Arrow? That would be great to go side by side (at least for a moment..) with "the real guys"

Thanks,
Mange
