Here's a race boat that had a save.....you can't see it but Stinson had his hand in the water on the starboard side to push the boat back over!

Happy to say the HORBA, Historic Offshore Race Boat Association site is almost ready for launch....and yes, we have a link to OSO.

Thanks for your patience, it was worth the wait.

This shows that you don't have to look only for the "big" race boats for restoration. This is Don Aronow racing his single engine 27 foot Magnum. There should be a ton of these old boats still out there. They were the backbone of the production classes for years in Production, Modified and Sport classes.
