Slo-Mo V aka Fascination I (2)

[Dave Randall]

I am looking for a picture of Fascination I (2), a Bob Gilliam-owned hull that began racing in 1951 as the Slo-Mo-Shun V.  According to historical race results, this boat qualified for the Gold Cup in Seattle in 1965 and later that year as the Berryessa Belle in subsequent races.  Any help locating a picture of the boat as Fascination I will be appreciated.  Thank you.  Dave Randall

I have a picture of Fascination, U-88 and Fascination 1, U-771, in the 54th Gold Cup program. The pic of Fascination U-88 is in color but Fascination 1, U-771 is not.  In the program nothing is mentioned about Fascination 1 being the former SloMo V, however.  The Fascination hull is definitely of a later design.  Let me know if this helps you at all.  [e-mail]
