Great video and story! Kind of reminds me of the EAA Museum in Oshkosh Wi. and the old airplanes they have.

That type was as they used yacht builders for the war effort.

Great story! Thanks for the post, Silvertip!

Awesome story and inspirational. Thanks for posting Silver

I also had no idea they were wooden hulls, must have helped their top speed quite a bit.
