Yes, that was an amazing performance. Has anyone still got a copy of the pic of this boat with Len Ferguson sitting in the back with his feet on the engines steering it. They lost their steering round the back of the Island and he steered it with his feet all the way to the finish line in Cowes, some 25 miles! They were disqualified letting me into 2nd place overall behind Peter Bloomfield!
