Re: Save the Old Race Boats
Dinny is Ogden Mills Phipps III. He was a major sackholder in Holman Moody (my engine sponsor). Big time big buck family (horses, etc). During the NY Boat show circa 1966, Dinny picked me up at the show in a limo. He took me to Toots Shor's saloon in Manhattan, and we had lunch with just about the entire 1959 NY Giants football team. Sat between Frank Gifford and Y.A. Tittle. Thought I had died and gone to heaven. Dinny was best friends with Tim (Wellington III) Mara who own the team. Talk about old money........

Hello my name is Michele Tognelli, son of Giorgio Tognelli.
I am glad the name of Arcidiavolo is still remembered and I would like to partecipate to any forum concerning the "old, pure and glorious offshore". My best regards
