More Z class Offshore 1978..
The Scandinavian/Nordic Championship in the Z class 1978 was in Kotka, Finland.
Weather conditions was extremely tough..storm and big waves..
I stuffed the Delicato/ARGO/Evinrude way out on the Baltic Sea and my co-pilot
Curre and I had to swim for a long time before some one came to rescue us.
The boat was OK..but the best thing with that race was my old friend Angelo Vassena
was there from Italy.
He was working on a deal with Renato Molinari to drive one of Renatos Team Saffa OZ boats in the Paris 6 hours later same year.
Vassena wanted me to be his co-pilot..
Well..I know Renato is mad at me for the Volvo Penta/Konig deal last year I told Vassena..
His response was ..Renato has already accepted you to drive one of his Saffa boats
and he thinks you need to go to Italy to do a test race before Paris 6 Hours.
Back in Stockholm Sweden I made a plan to go and race with Team Molinari in September.
Next story..
