What boat is this?

[Ben Mazur]

Can anyone fill in the details?

[Ben Mazur]

And the bonus question, the gentleman on the left was associated with this boat. The gentleman on the right had a totally different occupation.

Any idea who they are?

I really do need to pay closer attention.

The guy on the left is the late Andrew Hedges (who raced cars) and the guy on the right is the legendary Paddy Hopkirk who won the Monte Carlo Rally driving a BMC Mini Cooper in 1964.

Right you are Chris. I've actually forgotton where I found the pic but the article that accompanied it was very interesting. I'll try to find it again and post it.

I didn't realise that Andy had died. Used to see him every year at Cowes. How sad.

[Ben Mazur]

Found it.

Old powerboat racers never die. They just go where there are no rules and regulations!
