Black Tornado

In H.O.R.B.A. website I found this image where we can read that it show Aronow and Wynne won a Club race.
No year. No name of the boat.
I think that it was the prototype of the 36' and(or) the next Art Norris famous "Slap Shot" as like as the number 2 show.
Correct?
Anyone know the year of that event? 1970?

Hi Marco,

It definately looks like the legendary Cig 36. What a beaut!

Hi Nigel
You're right but what I wish to know is the year of that picture!

Looks shorter than 36.......?........maybe a 32 (Cary)?

Black Tornado

But it's to much long to be a 32'.
Maybe the position of the crew(in highest position) looks the boat shorter.....

1969 or 1970. Would Top Banana know?

Chris Sunkin

I believe you are correct. Don was a big guy but not that big. The 36 had a bunch of freeboard and a deep cockpit. Don would have had to be standing on a milk crate...

Black Tornado

I think was in 1970's summer. Then in novenber came the first official victory of a 36' with the aeromarine I of Magoon.

Look the Doug Silvera's Starduster,that was one of the first 36' ever built and winner of the Bahamas 500 of 1971,and you will see that the crew was very high on the cockpit.....
