I think the boat was used for racing later that year:

It seems it is the prototype of their 'Sea Rocket'

This 'Silver Wing' ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8MZescaS1s#t=202 ) is on display at Duesseldorf boat show: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/oli5400/1-3.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/oli5400/2-3.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/oli5400/3-3.jpg http://i239.photo...

Some pics of that beautiful boat. Don't let those pics fool you. There were always many people admiring that craft and it almost took me as long to take those pics as it took that poor young guy to polish away all those fingerprints the crowds left again and again on that mirror-like deck :) : http:...

Were these ever built? :

Volga 70, glad you liked the report. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the magazine. I found two of them in our library and copied only a few test reports. Shortly after that those magazines went to the junkyard

Hi everyone. I'm olli from Germany. Found this test report a while ago. Unfortunately written in German but I hope you like it : http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/oli5400/w1001.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/oli5400/w2001.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff120/oli5400/w300...
