Just spent the last 2 hours watching them. WOW! Thanks for that.

I'd say thats one of the earlier years if blue Moppie is racing, about 62 or 63.

Mine raced in 67, I've never seen any footage of her racing mind.

Can't help with film but there is this picture from 1967. Have you seen it before ?

Thanks for that. I love the golden period of 60's powerboat racing.
