Nice header today!— HeyTexx what’s the story on T- 44 , 1920s gentleman’s racer?
We’ve seen that before I think. Repro?
I think Ken Bassett built that boat in the mid-90’s. That’s the 1990’s.
Great work Roy. Great poster.
T44 / Wildhorses is a 1997 33′ Brown & Bassett Gentlemen’s Racer powered by a 1930’s Rolls-Royce V12 Meteor converted for marine use. The engine develops 650 HP.
The 33′ boat was designed by Ken Bassett of Vermont for Tahoe’s Tony Brown and owner Dave Olson. Construction was completed by Tony Brown at Western Runabout and Ken Bassett over 3 years.
The goal of the project was to have a new race boat using modern construction techniques along with current design information to develop a boat that resembles the beautiful wooden racers from the 1930’s.
