Many thanks chewiekw. It is a great article about the race boats on wood and about a great cat!

Good suggestion Bobcat but if chewiekw will be so available spare me to wait two or more weeks for shipping.

Would be interesting to see the entire article of Wooden Boat....:cool:

Great shot!!
I think you have others pics like that!:cool:

Who could say that this photo was taken in 2010 instead of 1974?

I hope that someone buys the boat and the restore it in race trim.
Thanks for the link Jdoss.

Thanks!:cool:

Phil, how can I contact Darren Luhrs for that?
Maybe I'm wrong but I seem to remember that it is T2x?

This event will be the biggest in the world as the only historic race, the Cowes-Torquay deserves.
I would love to be there but I think it would be unlikely.

My best compliments to all those...
