    Probably the best Marathon race ever.
    I can’t even imagine the fun of running that.

    And the reality that with today’s tree huggers...,it will never happen again.

    Similar to the outlaw races at the Caribbean Club.

    I can only envision the excitement to have raced with 251 boats in the field
    Or to watch 251 boats race by, whilst standing on a bridge, the shore or a backyard.

    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    ...Roy Ridgell Jr. hailed from West Palm Beach, the racing roster stated. Just wondering what area or neighborhood that would have been back then. Old West Palm has changed so much over the years...
