88 or 89, I think 88 if so I was racing there, I remember it being really rough but then again it is "offshore" racing not river racing!

Joe absolutly the real Offshore days i am pretty sure was 1989

What boat were you in ??

Nice video clip and the spectator fleet seemed huge, thanks for sharing.

I ran the little A class diesel boats then A-47 Malestrom and A-47 or B-27 Monza there are pics on here on them.

Those were the days all the spectator boats going out with you, people cheered the BIG boats and 50% of the boats never finished the race! Good or bad it was "offshore"!

You are right on the money. They need to get back to the real racing. Not river racing.

I would say 1988 APACHE PETE is in his first 41 in the video going up the river. The next year he would be there race ALLEZ VITE.

That was the Real Deal Offshore days!

Spuds at 2:30!
Seriously, thanks for posting this, brings back memories.
