Bit of trivia..don't know if this is the appropriate thread so mods please feel free to move.

Aronow had 2 ( at least!) "The Cigarette"s, powered by twin Mercruisers. One of them was bought by Australians Val and Paul Carr in about 1970 or 1971, and came to race here. I think the other went on to be a "Black Tornado".

Tragically, both Val and Paul were killed in about 1972, when the boat spun in a race off Sydney and threw them out.

Subsequently, the boat was bought by Arnold Glass who ran it for a year or so before buying the candy striped "American Eagle" ( the 36 Cigarette).

The Cigarette was then sold to Norm Jenkin and disappeared. I hope it is sitting in a shed somewhere but I fear it may be long gone..

I had heard American Eagle had been burned and destroyed in a fire.

Also, I heard the other day that Arnold Glass now lives in Monte Carlo racing aeroplanes. He is now about 80 y.o. and still going well

These pics have been copied from the Boatmad Gallery (Grahams Library) in which there are hundreds more.This an English website which along with a lot of old offshore films is trying to astablish a good record of offshore.The hope is that it inspires U.S. offshore fans to unearth all those hidden away U.S. pics and put them on this site.All these pics and films have come from my own offshore library in which I began snapping in the early 60`s.For ref the gallery is in www.boatmad.com

I quote you Doc flying!
