Here's out main page photo. It has 12 people on there who I believe should be in the Top 100 of all time. Question is, who in that group will make the Top 5 or Top 10?????
I nominated Don Aronow as #1, and so far have received zero opposition......
So, since #1 seems to be taken, with a unanimous decision so far, let's get going on the Top 5.
Who are numbers 2 through 5, and why? If you need help to prove something you've heard or believe, we'll try. We may also try to disprove some of the embellishments from the stories. But, let's get it done....
Any questions, I'll try to clear them up in the main Top 100 sticky thread.
1. Don Aronow - Still being discussed, but so far-so good.
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?
Thread: First 5 in the Top 100

As I mentioned in the other thread, #2 is Carl K in my opinion.

After this we start getting into really gray areas/arguments.

Crouse
All are certainly contenders"Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

I think that anyone with multiple inputs into the sport has a place in the top 10 and probably top 5 - i.e. builder(boat company owner), designer, racer etc. Therfore Dick Bertram and Reggie have my vote for top 5 inclusion.

Your point, along with Paul's makes me think of an idea. Maybe it has been done? An organizational/family tree type chart with the first (moppie, right?) and then the splashes from that below, and then the splashes from those below. Offshore family tree. I am pretty sure that my boat was born from a drunken weekend with a Monza, who was the nephew of the Moppie.

I want the family tree diagram. Rich, Bobby and Charlie could put it together or check it for accuracy.

Maybe the icons could check it, freeze frame can turn it into a poster, donate the posters to HORBA and HORBA could sell them as a fundraising effort.
