Re: Save the Old Race Boats
Top Banana,
I would personally like to invite you and any of the vintage race boats to come dispay and show off your historical pieces of offshore history at a 1 day event in Seaside Heights, NJ July 15th, 2006. The event is called Shore Dreams For Kids We have the Antique Car Club here every year and it would be a great addition to the event to have the offshore boats as well.
Here is a picture video courtesy of Lucidee to see what the event is like. Click here for Shore Dreams Video
For further information about the event click to this web page:
Shore Dreams For Kids
If you think you can make it, please let me know!
Thanks for all the history!

Re: Save the Old Race Boats
Was the La Tortuga the first Superboat?44 Feet Long, much bigger than other race boats of the day. I heard a rumor that it was actually rigged with inboards at first and when they tested it, it wouldn't turn.....bet that was scary.
