Thanks that is the best one yet and I have almost read all of them.

Charlie McCarthy wrote a real nice piece about Don in this month's issue of EBM.

Very nice.

There's nothing harmonious or Zen-like about a Cigarette ride. It's an anarchic kind of rush—the nautical equivalent of Viagra. No wonder Aronow and his friends and rivals loved it so much, leaving their lives as office-bound businessmen behind and getting caught up in reckless games of competition: The combined effect of sun, sea, and speed goes straight to the lizard part of the brain. By tweaking the throttle, I found I could slam the boat down hard on the waves and send it back up into the air, like a champion powerboater in heavy seas. Racing a Cigarette is a hell of a lot easier than sailing, I decided. It's also more fun.

Clay, you said a mouthfull.:D Ain't it the truth tho??

in 1998 cigarette produced 6 boats...is that a mis-print?

and today they sell upwards of 300k...chit , what new cigarette can you buy for 300k?

Great Article!

Wouldn't surprise me if GB didn't whack him. Sold the USA contract to the nations largest dope smuggler. Typical high performance boat deals.
