Default Boat Spotted in Sarasota

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows if this boat is racing this year. It's Pitman Photo... I was driving home from work yesterday when I saw Pitman Photo driving down the street. Of course I whipped out my camera phone and took a picture for you guys...

It's obviously a Vee Light but I'm wondering:
Is this boat racing this season?
With what organization?
Who's racing it?

That boat was an old A class boat and could be raced today as an SVL. Whether or not someone is going to be running it is a good question. Would be great to see someone try to get it out there. SVL is shaping up to be a really great class.

The original InMocean A-class boat was a Scarab. I don't know where it is now - it may be the Pitman boat. Where is Stickerboy............he will know.

Yes the In Mocean is the Pitman, no the Esso is not a scarab, they had a scarab but that is not one. The esso is a Trinidaddy boat MarkIII or something like that. There were on 2 scarabs ever here the InMocean and the AleHouse.
