Looking for an old waterjet raceboat.

Hi everybody. New member from Sweden.

I just read on old swedish magazine from 1964 about a raceboat that was built by Basil Hurle-Hobbs from Charlton. It was driven by waterjet and he tried to reduce water-friction by pumping small waterbubble thru the hull. Has anyone heard of this boat? I would like to do a small thing in a Swedish classic boat magazine about this boat. I include a picture from the old magazine. Anyone??

I suggest you get in touch with the Classic Motor Boat Association
