Well, if you are going to use my photo, the least you can do is to give some credit to HORBA....Historic Offshore Race Boat Association and a link wouldn't hurt either.

No....Bill Cooper had a way of making sure that it made the minimum length requirement. And by the way....he finished 2nd overall in the Long beach to San Francisco race with this thing.

Much appreciated.....we are a non profit, with just one goal in mind....To educate the public about the history of the sport of offshore racing.

Here is another 233 for you, with Volvo sterndrives.
