Can someone help me with this boat: Hornet II

Hello everyone,

I wonder if I can help with anything you know about this boat Hornet II, I've seen on the site of Lake Tahoe, many people have asked whether they had or knew where I could find some information, they say see here see there but I can not find anything, the photos are very few information is even more rare. what I look for are the specifications of the boat as length, width, the origin of the hull.
I know he participated in several races, was modified by the Howard Hughes who removed the wooden top and designed and built a custom aluminum top and would be a champion.

This is the boat.

If anyone can help me I was very grateful.

Thank you very much.

If you goggle Howard Hughes Hornet II, You get the picture you have, and who did the design, number built, and the whole history of the rebuild. Hope this helps Steve

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my late reply, I have been looking for more information about this boat I think I've seen all the websites I found, I sent email asking for any information that could exist, but did not get any reply.

Before I put the question here, I had already done a Google search.


Thank you all for the tips.
