Project Cheers

'Project Cheers is a story of brilliant organization and endeavor by three men dedicated to an idea which many thought crazy. That idea was a fantastically fast twin hulled craft called Cheers, designed specifically by Dick Newick to win the Single-handed Transatlantic Race in 1968.' This is the second edition of this historically significant sailing classic since its first publishing in 1969. A website; http://www.cheersdicknewick.wordpress.com is ever developing to compliment the book. Photos, links, updates, bio's, and eventually video, complement the story.

Of the three authors and equal members of Project 68 described in the book, Tom Follett, Jim Morris, and Dick Newick, it was Dick Newick who became a celebrated multihull designer. 'Cheers' was but one of his designs that secured a place in sailing history. Jim Morris can be credited for making Project Cheers happen and Tom Follett; the extremely private, but much loved hero of this adventure.
