i ran the year they closed up after the race , probably 80. Rough as hell the whole race. If i'm not mistaken , i believe hi files bankrupcy after the race and all the prize money checks bounced. Could be wrong, long time ago

Endangered Species was out yesterday in Grand Haven. Still looks good and sounds real healthy. Pardon the poor cell phone pictures

I know this is an older post and I just ran across it…… You guys missed 1 boat, it’s a 1995 50’ carbon fiber Cougar cat was “Brooks” (shoes) then “Spirit of Norway”. There were 2 built and only one exists. I’ll try and post original pics and current pics. It didn’t make it to the states till 2007. I’m the proud owner of it now.

I am not aware of anyone building a Class ll cat prior to my Wiggins Teape which came second in the 1974 Cowes-Torquay-Cowes.

There was Fiona Aran's (Lady) Badger IV. But this may not have been built by Cougar. It had OMC outboards and was not successful. I guess this was built between Black Panther and Hi-Mac. I started in Class lll in 1971 in a 21' monohull Avenger and was blown away by the cats. Thereafter, all Cougars!
