So this must be Giancarlo Corbelli (Power Marine) and the destroyed boat could be his cat which caught fire and sank outside Rome in 1996..?

Mr. Corbelli as he was showing me his recent buildings.
Apart of the racing boats, he is ready to launch a 80 ft Yacht, his estimation is 82 knots

He currently owns a small shipyard in Italy and he is building Small Yachts capable of 75+ knots.
One day he took me to a place where the boats he raced with are kept
It was a really amazing time because he walked me around on these nice boats talking to me about his memories. The same time it was very sad time because it was the first time I was in a boat cemetery !!!! |
Sad to see all those fine boats rotting away.

I did not mean I was getting there, in response to your post "I wish you were there that day". Hope that clears things up.

No. I'm not MZ. Don't you know he no longer enjoys the sensation of throttles, preferring halyards and such? He's getting old I guess...  I'm just another prematurely gray friend who's spent some time hanging around with you, MZ, some goodwill ambassadors and other assorted characters!  | |
