This was a good one. It held the Miami-Nassau-Miami, the Miami-New York, and the TransAtlantic Blue Riband all at the same time. I worked for John Connor and Tom Gentry turning it into a yacht. It still went 73 mph fully found. Connor and I worked for 5 years designing and testing models for a new TA that might cross in under 40 hours. Unfortunately Tom flopped his cat in Key West, and that was that. That was that low spot of my life. I wanted to build the new boat so badly that I could taste it (Tasted like carbon fiber).
