In line with you’re disaster week, I am sorry to report that “H” Smith in our Blue Ridge Chapter reported hitting an object or large wave last Saturday causing his boat, Retrospective, to take on water and nearly sink. A nearby boater towed him to shore preventing a total disaster. “H”s boat just received 9 pages of coverage in the recent Classic Boating magazine. His Hacker influenced gentleman’s racer was his first boat and did an awesome build. He is not timid in the use of the “go” pedal as he has a race car prep business.

Well, the good part of the story was that we made it on time to the cocktail party at Monaco Yacht club for the awards. And actually, my award was “a good customer” trophy. And a word to the wise, don’t sink in France on Sundays. The salvage people are off.
