Thanks Joe for doctoring up my post. I tried to post the link but it would not work for me. We raced with the group that you mentioned and won championships in the 1980's. When we raced with them they were called the New Jersey Garvey Association. I once saw a garvey hit a wave, barrel roll 360 degrees and continue on as if nothing had happened with both its pilot and co-pilot unharmed. Making it even more amazing was the fact that the race boats did not run seat belts at that time. The Jersey Speed Skiffs were derived from the boats that were used during prohibition. Modified skiffs designed to outrun the authorities.
