When three men met in early 1949 at a Seattle sailboat shop, none of them could have foreseen the peculiar and far-reaching consequences of their joint venture to build a better race boat.
Slo-Mo-Shun IV was indeed better than any previous race boat. But she was more than that: Slo-Mo-Shun IV touched the hearts of thousands who cheered her on and changed forever the way generations of Seattleites feel about the first week in August.
Slo-Mo-Shun IV transformed the lives of those most closely associated with her, nearly destroying some of them. She evoked thrills and anger and, ultimately, she prompted tears and inspired poetry.
