When I visited Ben Robertson in his shop (Jacksonboro, South Carolina) a few years ago all the Velden Racing molds was there inside the building.
Maybe he can build you a brand new..!!

Today Wilfried Weiland of Austria came to visit us.
We talked about old boat racing and his race in Texas long time ago.
Wilfried is still working with Regal Boats in Orlando handling overseas sales.
Thanks for stopping by and see you soon again.
Well..I also found a interesting photo in his album..!!..(second picture)..
My wife Debbie and I had only been married four months. We spent our Honigmonde in Berlin racing at the Weltpokal in 1977. That was when you snuck in to Konig Motorenbau to pick up your Volvo Penta/Konig Lars. Four months later, our hosts for our honeymoon penthouse, Jenny Scwhartz-Nitka and head of ADAC/Berlin went with us to the APBA PRO National Championships at Hinton, West Virginia. Mike Ward, and I think Wilfried, or maybe Leif Ahlborg also sent me that photo. I never showed it to Debbie....at least not yet.
I have emailed Wilfried back and forth a few times over the years. I tried to get him to come to Corpus Christi when there was a big international boat show four or five years ago, but he was traveling all over Europe and the Middle East with his boat business.
He told me that he wants to come back to Laredo some day where he won the OD World Championship in 1878. It's not a good place to come right now without some guidance.
I told Wilfried to let me know when he is coming and I will be there. When he does, maybe you and Karina can meet with Debbie and myself.
Wayne, is there a thread here at BRF I can read about the OD World Championship race in Laredo 1978.??
