Hi Jimmy, Good to talk with you again. You mentioned *Inferno II* being in the San Francisco area. Do you know precisely where she is? We have been trying to track her down.
I think most people remember that *Inferno II* debuted in the 1968 SORC which was won overall by *Red Jacket*. However, *Inferno* went on the rocks when entering Lucaya and pounded there all night. Most observers were shocked that she was towed off next morning without taking on one drop of water. She was towed back to Florida for repairs, but never did achieve the celebrity status of *Red Jacket*. However, what she did do was demonstrate the strength and durability of cored fiberglass construction. Charlie Morgan has a good quote on the subject in "Heart of Glass".
