What was their record time?

Love these long distance challenges.

I left Miami on August 18, 1978 in a 24' Pantera w/ 2 Mercury outboards.
It took 42 hrs.
NO GPS or radars etc.
I had 2 compasses, "most" of the charts, an RDF and a VHF radio. Plus the desire to get to New York!
Long story!

Most of us dont even know what an RDF is, I spent 2 hours in mine in ruff water last weekend, and that was enuff, 42 must have been insane.

Ralph at TNT...right Jo? Great guy! When I picked up my 24 there, he was really checking it out. Good people.

For an encore, I would like to set a Miami to Bermuda to New York in a 41' pantera w/ triple O/B's or maybe Diesel I/O.
That would be a record!

maybe its just a dream......
