This pic. was taken in 1976 Miami offshore race. Race was called off half way thru the race because of a closing Hurricane and most racer's getting lost on the way to the Florida Key's. My Father was in this Pantera 24' and was sponsored by TV 6 "The perfect getaway".

There was a race boat taken on water so a helicopter was sent out to look for the boat and the helicopter went down. Then a 2nd Helicopter was sent to look for the 1st helicopter and the 2nd helicopter also went down. NO MORE HELICOPTERS WERE SENT AFTER THAT.

I love it.
This takes me back to Ft Lauderdale in the late 70's. That's when I caught the bug.

Man, how I'd like to get a hold of that "fair and white" 36
