Ghost Rider appearing as the Feature Attraction at the 2006 New York Boat Show. The boat was seen by thousands and most did not have a clue that this was a 42 year old wooden boat. The cockpit deck was removed to show the actual construction of the only undefeated famous ocean racer was really of wood. Barcone Marine has maintained Ghost Rider for 40 years and coninues to keep the vessel in pristine condition. As a final port, the champion vessel may cross the Atlantic to it's original home in England, to the English National Maritine Museum which has requested the presence of it's most famous ocean racer........undefeated in it's debut in 1966, across the waters of Europe, Bahamas and America.
