(From Leslie Field Website): Slo-mo-shun V, now Miss Seattle, was built by Jensen Boat Works of Seattle in 1951. Designed by Ted Jones, the mahogany craft is 28 feet long with a 12-foot beam and weighs 4,850 pounds. She is powered by a Rolls Merlin engine. Her first competition was the 1951 Gold Cup Race which she won. She won it again in 1954. In a qualifying run for the 1955 Gold Cup, she turned a complete backward flip and landed right side up, suffering considerable damage. Owner Stanley Sayres sold her to a Seattle corporation, Roostertails, Inc., and she was repaired to race again."
