in 1972, I ran the Hennesy Grand Prix out of Point Pleasant New Jersey - a 24 Cigarette with twin small block v-8s was faster than I was, however on the run south from Brooklyn NY to Point Pleasant, when the seas started to build, it was then that my 28 ft. Bertram Baron had the advantage - and we won the Production class. The 24 Cigarette was quick, but the Bertrams length was its advantage in rough water !
