    XRunner...
    I suspect you will recall?, when the Bens/Isle of Jura Race made it to the front page.... sometime back in 80's if my memory serves me well... a picture and tale which made many hearts race! Can't remember it the was FT/Thunderer/Teligonck... or another Broadsheet..
    But... I'm sure you will find out... and remind us!
