And when he walks everybody laughs...and when he tires to run even more... cause the Tupeé will fall off.

Why can´t the man just carry his age with distinction ?
There´s others who could. Vincenzo Balestrieri for example, Fabio Buzzi even Don Aronow who he tries to be a minime of...

and lets not Forget all who Helped Reggie in that DEVELOPMENT... who has here even a clue ?

A few Hints...
The Beak was already the norm to stretch a smaller boat to be eligible in the 60´s.
Steps were used in 1930´s and 40´s in Torpedo boats, I got one 800 yrd from me here at display even.
Fabio Buzzi I recall did help Reggie... and then there was this one guy who actually started the whole Company...a WELL KNOWN Racer himself and Reggie was just a helper.

like I Said .. I give credit where credits due.
