His son John had one too that he campaigned in Dist 9 NAMBA in the 80 that was also a grate running boat.. The was also another one in D 9 run by Cecil Reynolds..Those two would always put on a good race.. Grate memories ..

I know there are some Gaines Canards floating around and very proud to have one. Anyone in the canard family I wanna meet them all. I believe in the design and want to explore more and learn. This one is his second one ever made. The stand is the original bulk head scraps from the Original Miss Circus Circus Hydroplane. Pretty cool stuff

Yes it won last in 1988 and that as far as we remember that was the last race it had or darn close to it... Very exciting time and it was amazing to see great helping, fun having friends and meeting new ones. The decision now is to bring this to Hobart, or the Fritz hull? She is old and needs serious TLC. Although she is still hanging on. Glad I met you Marty!

Bradley,

What prop are you running? The canards run best with large diameter low lifting propellers. The CMB should pull a de-tongued X462 with no problem.
