Guernsey Racer not hard to miss in your local High Street, every newspaper under his arm.

His number plate normally flags it though.

No Graham.... the black armbands came out months ago when Martin said that she'd gone to be scrapped.

I've been deeply traumatised all day having seen this picture... I knew she was dead, I just didn't need to see the corpse!

My most vivid memory of that boat was in the 90's when we were racing in Devon, it was backed into the water on it's trailer on the slipway, with Phil Collins redlining the motors, awesome sight and sound!

That was it's first race, Falmouth 95. We'd had a few engine problems in testing on the Saturday afternoon but by the time Phil had fixed them it was too late to be craned in to test... hence the slipway stunt

The sight the next day of the middle engine on fire was pretty stunning as well..... but we were out to sea then so not many people saw that one.

Falmouth 95.

Bit of a long shot but has anyone got a copy of the Skysports report on the Falmouth 95 race?

There were some good footage of Online Racing and All of a Quiver running side by side during race, but unfortunately I've lost the video

Cheers Graham... PM on it way

Those little fishing boats out of that we chartered from Lilliput were great photographic platforms... even if they did take over an hour to get back from Boscombe!.
