In the Point Pleasant N.J. races in July hitting the BA buoy from the Seaside Pier was a chore in the good weather.

One year all but 1 of the open class boats I think wound up in the Hudson River because of their navagator & the weather.

Or how many reached the south shore of Long Island or Fire Island,, lost

but that made it fun hitting your marks

Jim how true. Navigation was the equalizer you didn't always have to have the fastest boat to win a race. I like to see how a 150mph cat would navigate 120 mile race without GPS. :lolhit:

This one of my most favorite pic's, my old Mag when it was Sam's Come Again racing the Mirage La Salle. This is how close they were running after one 30 mile lap in a 90 mile race. :ernaehrung004: I shot this pic around 1977.
