Formula, Donzi, Cigarette and Magnum. That's quite a track record.

Interesting film here, incredible that he built boats for drug runner and sold the US government the catamaran's to chase the drug runners!

Saw the original Miami vice cigarette is apparently up for $20m. Silly price I’d think.

Cigarette I think is a generic term for long and thin , but there is actually a margue called Cigarette too .

I was lucky enough to be living on the Solent in the 1960 s

The Cigarette was in 1967 a really big step forward with a speed of over 66 mph over the course.
A record that stood for a few years.

No designated spectator areas in those days .
It was sometimes you were very close indeed as they passed back past Cowes soon after the start.

watched it last, holy cow what a load of crud!!!!

Apart from the massive continuity issues and the fact that the 1960s shots had modern outboard covers and Monaco shots were filmed abaord a modern Squeeker or similar it was still a load of crud...

But it killed two hours.
