Oh god...the knowlege that is? What are we channeling Crump now?
Well I remeber.............
Seriously that F%*^($* boat...I pulled out every high tech trick in the book. Still couldn't beat it. I even tried ramming it a few times...no luck, just damage to my own boat.
We even tried sinking it in 1996 in Kingston. lt was the only American to finish that day in, no shit, i'm not kidding and not exaggerating 30+ knots. Crump had a hole in the bow the size of a quarter and still finished with a flodded bow tank! We have the real wind readings and photos to prove it.
I rememeber in 1994 in Dillon Colorado, the words "HENRY EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING IS BAD" echoing through the hills from that boat back when it was all white . Wow, were those words truer then we ever thought.
Then there was the time we put 10 fireballers in the boat at one time during a light air postponment in Kingston, only to have it start flooding over the centerboard case with the addition of the 11th.
Of course there were the countless days sitting as still as possible three hours into a drifter right next to that god-damn flutter of aluminized mylar, which seems to stand straight out in a knat's fart.
Then there was the time we could have won the North American's but my crew and I got into a fist fight during the second race of the first day and quit for a DNF. That damn boat won the regatta in the end of a 10 race series over us by only 3 points.....we were third.
Then there were the times spinning inches from each other, and any other objects nearby, in an attempt to see how close we could get without touching. Sometimes we touched.
Then there are the many names.....2 Quick Dix, Spud Patrol, Beastie Boys, The un-dead (sorry that's the trailer)...Pat I am forgetting many of them please add to the list.

Then there was the time Viper flew below the hard-deck with us in persuit and called no joy...no wait that was when Goose and I were at Top-Gun.
That F*&%)#* boat will NEVER DIE!!!!!
