Wasn't it the Chase Cougar that broke down on the Hudson river during the NY race and a drunk guy jumped off the bridge to "Help" them.... died in the process??

Here... Robert sent this.

Ill ask my dad, he would know

Dad tells me Steve Curtis throttled that race, and it was so calm he actually ate a sandwich during the race. They finished though

Found it here in this old Michelobe light Commercial at the very beginning going by in the background

Awesome

Have you called the Velocity factory? Steve may have even more info,

I talked to Steve about it but before I knew the name of it. So yes that is something that I will do. I'm sure the name of it will que a couple memories hopefully

You might be referring to the boat that I was associated with for a number of years.

It is a very early 30 racedeck originally built for an English owner who powered it (somewhat unsuccessfully with twin Cosworth Indy type V-8s. The subsequent owner re-powered it with small blocks and the current owner stuck in a couple of big blocks when the boat was restored (and painted blue) in 1997.

I was fortunate enough to throttle the boat from 2002-2006. The boat has been popular in England for years. Credit for the photo of the boat in its white livery goes to Graham (Flying Fish) Stevens.
