Jersey Speed Skiffs & Garveys  

I remember the skiffs too... They had kind of rolled sides so to me, they could lean through the corners more than the garveys that had flat bottoms and short flat sides.  For me, it was dirt track racing on the bay!  The skiffs had more "bite" in the turns, and the garveys kind of slid a little sideways.

Watching the boats head out to race and then make their way back in to the dock (or to the shallows depending on the venue) was as cool to me as the actual races.  Pretty cool audio too with the open headers.
