Don Aronow would be 80 years old today

[Top Banana]

March 1 would have been the 80th birthday of Don Aronow if he were still alive.

We have put together a special tribute to him in the new Diamond Anchor Member's section. About 150 photos mainly from John Crouse and the Aronow Family Archives.

All new members get a free DVDV copy of the 60's offshore movie Run Sunward that was made about offshore racing and Don as the film crew followed him around the world.

There is a free clip on the site that you can sample. www.historicraceboats.com

What new designs would we have been enjoying if he had lived. What other boat companies would he have created that would have been out there today like Formula, Donzi, Magnum, Cigarette?

John Crouse told HORBA that he would donate another group of brand new SEARACE books in honor of Don Aronow's 80th birthday.

John says put the price back to the original price he sold the first ones for in 1989.....$69.95.

He said there is a whole generation of performance boaters out there, who don't know about the legends or the history of the sport....let's get them some real information.

SEARACE....the original 600 plus pages of photos and info on the sport of offshore racing, now at the HORBA store.

Searace IMHO is an absolute must have for anyone even remotely interested in offshore powerboat racing.
