Da 3 mænd mødtes i starten af 1949, i en sejlbådsforretning i Seattle,
havde ingen af dem kunnet forudse de vidt rækkende konsekvenser af
deres eventyr, som var at bygge en bedre racer båd.
Slo-Mo-Shun IV blev virkelig den bedste racer båd der nogen sinde
var blevet bygget. Men hun var mere end det: Slo-Mo-Shun IV ramte
tusinder af entusiaster lige i hjertet og forandrede for altid generationers
specielle følelse, som de har i den første uge i august i Seattle.
Slo-Mo-Shun IV forandrede livet for dem som stod hende nærmest og
som havde været med fra starten. Det tog næsten livet af nogen af dem.
Hun fremmanede gys og vrede, & også tårer og inspirerede til poesi.

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.
