Just wanted to make everyone aware that we have 4 models of The Cigarette that are finished now and can be shipped for Christmas.
These are a limited run of just 100 that was commissioned by Michael Aronow. The models are an exact duplicate of the model that Don had on his desk at Cigarette. The scale is 1 inch for 1 foot, so the original boat was a 32 foot Cary and the model is 32 inches long.
We just shipped model #23 out last week. Along with the model comes a nice package from Michael Aronow, a letter of authenticity and photos of Don holding the model and a nice personal note.
There aren't many people around anymore that even can say they met the man while he was alive, here is a chance to own something in common with him. Would look great in your den or office.
Merry Christmas. I will be at Key West wearing my SeriousOffshore.com T-shirt, if you have any questions on this, look me up.
Ordering info on the HORBA site www.historicraceboats.com

12-02-2008 03:07 PMReady to go for those who want to be a little frugal this year and get their new boat in a smaller size....only 32 inches for the model.
This is an exact replica of the model that sat in Don's office. His son Michael had a new set of molds made from the original model and these models will only be built in a limited series of 100.Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!
