HIS-STORY

1969 Hampton Cup Regatta

And here's the REAL STORY: On Saturday, Charlie Dunn did a complete 360 blowover, after finding out that Charlie was okay (knock out unconscious) Larry took the boat (with added duct tape, see above the N-40 numbers, aka 100mph tape) out same day and won the final heat tying the world record. THE NEXT MORNING, Larry put a 40lb. bag of sand in front of the engine and put a half inch larger propeller to raise the stern up with anticipation of breaking the world record.
