Div. II Inboard hydroplane honors went to Belligero II, a 225
Div. I
owned and driven by Paul Sawyer of South Harwich, Mass., the boat which
ranked second in our 1949 selections. A Hallett hull with
power by
Ford, Belligero II was
described by one of our judges as the nicest riding and best
balanced hull I have ever seen in this class.
Up until mid-November,
Belligero II held the mile record for her class 99.82. At
Salton Sea,
too late to be considered by our judges, another Sawyer
boat Alter Ego
boosted the mark to the astronomical height of 115.04 m.p.h.
Miami
Boy, the 135 owned by Tommy Gore and driven by Bob Lueckenhoff, was
the number two inboard hydro. Another Hallett-Ford
combination, Miami Boy
in one stretch of eight days covered four major regattas, ran 14 heats
and took a dozen firsts and two seconds. Sid Street, owner of
the
winning boat in our 1949 All-American, set a new competition mark for
225 Div. I boats at Cincinnati on Aug. 27, boosting the
standard to
81.782 with his Z-Z-Zip.

speed of 160.3235 m.p.h. to erase the 11

dominated the Harmsworth competition, winning both heats handily,

heat and 102.676 for a 5-nautical-mile lap. Running in the
