Can anyone answer why it has had the transom repaired, ie, no holes where the drives would normally live? Was it being re-rigged, or splashed?

Rubrail is also missing, mmmmmmnn.

Jon, that is the Cig 36' hull #1 ex Black Tornado of Balestrieri and then Eraf of De Angelis and that in 1981 it brought Renato Della Valle to the winning debut in the offshore competitions.
Me same I have made photo and examined the hull in total abandonment recognizing the identity through some particulars.
Tim Brand Crombie spoke to me of where that glorious boat was found.
The hull has suffered changes as the closing of all the holes and new engines hatches probably because for a certain period it floated on the Lake of Como as advertising placard for the Primatist.
Two years ago it was still in state of totally abandonment near the entry of the yards Primatist completely empty of every equipment.

You’re getting naughty in your old age. I do have some "Hendricks Gin" over from the Ball if that will be sufficient penance/payment.

Black Helicopters Jon.....

[Jon Fuller]

What would Black Helicopter have to do with it Martin?

I take it you do actualy understand the phrase?

[Pash 1]

A helicopter is an aircraft that is lifted and propelled by one or more horizontal rotors, each rotor consisting of two or more rotor blades. Helicopters are classified as rotorcraft or rotary-wing aircraft to distinguish them from fixed-wing aircraft because the helicopter achieves lift with the rotor blades which rotate around a mast. The word 'helicopter' is adapted from the French hélicoptère, coined by Gustave de Ponton d'Amecourt in 1861, which originates from the Greek helix/helik- (ἕλικ-) = "spiral" or "turning" and pteron (πτερόν) = "wing".

And it's painted Black

This definition is better though Jon

"Black Helicopters (BH) are not just helicopters with a black paint-job as you may have been told. They are, in fact, autonomous agents -- life forms -- created by New World Order (NWO) agencies via nanobiotechnology. Their primary purpose is to spy on the activities of average citizens in order to gather tactical information and discover "subversives" who are not bowing to the will of the Liberati's UN-backed Federal Government. Furthermore, when the NWO Invasion takes place in the not-too-distant future, they will round up citizens for internment in concentration camps or carry out the elimination of the more vocally anti-Liberati"


The Freemasons are everywhere......
