...Stephens innovation for 12-meters, the trim tab on the aft end of the keel helps to reduce drift to leeward and can be used as an auxiliary rudder in tight turns. Valiant's reverse transom rolls down more smoothly toward the waterline, reducing excess weight in hull and deck.

Valiant carries 1,750 sq. ft. of sail, less than usual for a 12-meter. Under the cup formula, the reduced...
...Grand Prix in an STP-March Ford, as well as running the whole USAC championship circuit.

Occasionally he even used his stick as Chicago won 6-3 and moved into contention for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Says Teammate Bobby Hull: "Tony will try to stop that puck with any part of his body, any time." During a game last year when Esposito was in the nets for the Canadiens, Hull rocketed a high, hard shot directly at Tony's head. "He saw it coming," recalls Hull, "and just closed...
