I asked Laura Pertusini who the kid is next to Renato Molinari and here is her answer.
"He is my son Guglielmo , his grandfather is Saverio Pertusini, he was a pilote in seventies. Now, Guglielmo is attending powerboat school"

Good to see the Italians are still running a powerboat school, government funded I bet.
That's why they produce great champions, Scotti, Molinari,Cappolini etc,
Probably do the same thing in race cars.
I read some racing news and Guido Cappellini is one of the instructors..

I think this Molinari/Nordica sponsored boat is driven by Kicco Vidoli. Maybe 1985..or later..(The 6 inch mis-section V8)
[QUOTE=Lars Strom;134807]Please..I put lots of time in to this thread about Molinari and his boats. Please try to stay on topic..!![/QUOTE
Er, 'mescuse, where did we go off topic ?..... Renato and the kid,??????? Not his kith or kin ?? Italian boat racing education, ???? Cappellini ? Don't seem to me like we went galaxy bound, just think yourself lucky somebody was interested Lars.
Iv'e known Steve for over 40 years and he is as keen a racer as you are Lassie, i'm sure he didn't wander far off the main topic---you probably pissed him off by being a tad pedantic.
Change it's not my nuts heading for the crusher----one must be thankful for small mercies.
There was only ever 3 number one boat racers and neither you or me is one of 'em--------Seebold----Sirois----Molinari----in no particular order-----just a pity Sirois went offshore about the time of the factory duels, though he did get a few months in with both Renato and Billy.
Renato never did reach the same dizzy heights in Offshore, though he did come second in a heat in Trieste in a boat of his own design and build. Maybe you can elucidate on his venture into "Offshore" Lassie.???
I don't think Steve got upset..if he did I like to apologize right now..it was pictures of a V-hull and there is a very interesting thread about you..(Jackie Wilson) here..
