Phil,The address of Ragazzi is that right,because I asked to my friend that work in a bank and they have access to the people datas.
I remember that he had a firm in the textiles,Harvey & Crombie.
I have tried to look for something on internet but I have not found anything.
I think to have a series of tapes of Class 1 of that years because' there was a television net that made some transmissions after the competitions, (maybe they are really yours)but they are in VHS and I don't know whether to duplicate it.
But have you also made shot of competitions in the first years of seventy perhaps?
About the pics of you I think that the third one isn't in Genoa but maybe was shot in Sicily(Palermo) or in Spain.

Phil - wow you must have seen some fantastic action! Were you in Malta in 93?? I was too. Fantastic venue as Marco says. And if I recall rightly that year they had missed a timed kilo run from a previous race, so the fans were given a double whammy - not one but 2 timed kilo runs into the harbour. THe noise was incredible as I´m sure you have witnessed yourself - especially so as the noise reverberated over the whole town as it bounced off the various harbour walls. Spine tingling!!!!!

Marco if Master Moppie became Canadian Moppie, I think it then became McQueen´s Jeans - as seen in another Beken Calender! Once I get my scanner working again I will try to upload a photo. When I was younger I got into trouble with a local yard in Cowes after climbing aboard McQueen´s Jeans when it was in the Clare Lallow boatyard in Cowes, dreaming of pushing those throttles forward!

Re: Bertram 32
Nigel,you are right about the props of the Bertram 31 was very low from the transom. I think that because the original design of the 31's transom was for be without the stern drives,moroever the engines room was very little and the engine very close to the transom side by side and not staggered.
About the Canadian Moppie I think It's easy to know if became McQueen Jeans because it had the straight shafts inboard,not the stern drives,like the old Master Moppie that was builded togheder My Moppie like first Bertram 31' in 1967.
