Tom Cook (crew and owner) and Andy Wisner (driver) in Tom's incredible re-built 1970 Moore 505. This was probably the best looking boat at the regatta!

3246 raced the 1971 World Championship, and 26 years - and a major rebuild by Tom - later was racing hard in Long Beach. This boat has a carbon fiber one piece spreaders and bracket and lots of cool ideas. Check out the totally cool color scheme!
