Bill Owen posted this picture on FaceBook. Below is what he wrote. Thought maybe some folks might know a little bit more about this boat. I recall watching the Johhny Player F1 cars racing at Watkins Glen back in ~1978. Guess they were big into racing back then.

Bill Owen - " Sorry about the quality of the pic but I came across this ex John player special Velden in a showroom in Torrevieija Spain whilst on holiday last week. Must be from about 1977 I think. It ended up in the hands of a Belgian Driver. What a find "

If it;s a Belgian boat Danny Birtles would know who owned it------------Top Belgian in his day was ANDRE DIERXE-----may not have spelled his name correctly ----------Factory driver early 70's.

Anybody recognise this boat and who is driving?Attachment 262539

Looks very much like a Molinari to me` i am going to guess at mr Don Ross doing his victory lap at Chasewater UK with 2nd place driver.He had also won the river Thames race in a Molinari the year before this.He was a very nice gentleman well respected by all the other drivers drank tea all the time while telling tall stories?.

Hey WILLA, your 'Hot Singles ' really turned to s-it didn't it.???

Paris 6hr maybe`1971/1972 just trying to keep the old minds alert wouldn`t want them to fall asleep like Jackies does sometimes.

Who,s kidding who here Steve. Didn't you race MISTER H?

[STEVERINO]

Can't for the life of me remember if Alfie EVER won a circuit race anywhere--------He was 'Huger' then, than Bentz is now !!!!!!! somewhere between 2 and 3 hundred pounds.
He was more into offshore than closed circuit.
Hell of a character, and was a much loved gentle villain.
Wonder if the MOD VP referred to is the old submarine 'HUMMING BIRD' ???

I think Hummingbird was one of the first circiut race boats from the Clive Curtis and James Beard along with Chris Hodges team or to be known as Couger Marine it was a 16ft Levi deep v bare hull from M/M hulls and Chris Hodges designed his own deck and streamlined rear cowling always raced with Omc power .After the boat submarined Clive had metal deflectors fitted either side of the nose to try to prevent it happening again? I can remember racing against this boat at the Chasewater 24hr race in 1968 and having a slight coming together of boats in the middle of the night neither driver could see the distant turn buoy which had a light on the top of it which had nearly gone out.Weird experiece driving a race boat through the night with lights like candles can`t see any wakes or waves just grip the wheel hard and hang on. I can remember Mercury sending 2 new 1250bp engines for this race and one of them won it.

1968 ----was bye bye time for Vee bottoms----they were dead in the water and were only used in smaller classes. Only Charlie Sheppard continued with the 16' Vee's.

Jackie i can remember Don Ross and yourself winning the Amsterdam race in 1969 with a 1250sbp in a Levi 16 v hull and Charlie Shepherd had his 1st 16ft cat out in 1968 Soggy Moggy won its class in the Paris 6hr race.If you thought the Milesmaster Cats were poor you should have drove one of Charlie`s Cats i drove them both?
