This was the last decade of racing before the cat design made it's presence known.
The middle photo below shows the only known set of color photos of Don Aronow's only win ever in a Cigarette brand boat. It was at a local Miami club race and he raced a 36 foot Cigarette.

The pricing on the book is $120.00. This includes shipping and handling for USA customers in the southern 48 states.
We have been talking to various publishers about doing a book like this and everyone is interested, except they have no feel for how big the market really is.....so we just went ahead and self published. Our hope is we can show enough of a market to make the the publishers feel comfortable goiing ahead with taking this on.
This first book covers the 1970 to 1980 era.
We also have mockups for the 60's 80's 90's and the various manufacturers, from Formula, Donzi, Magnum, Cigarette, Corsa, Gara, Sutphen, etc etc.
Then on some drivers we have a great deal of material, Betty Cook, Don Aronow, Richard Bertram etc. We even have the original court documents from the suit brought by Ray Hunt against the various manufactureres who copied his deep vee design hull.
