| Jack Clark begain racing in 1984 and had a great first year, but soon decided that he wanted to race a boat of his own design. In 1985, he did just this, with a 35' wooden Jaguar tunnel hull. The design was successful, but the next step was to find a construction method which was lighter and stronger. During 1986 and 87, Clark invented and refined his cored fiberglass construction techniques, leading to several winning boats including Thriller and Special Edition which set a open class speed record of 109.45 mph in 1988. | |
