Snow Goose was originally built for Jack Lawrence (of J&S Skiffs) and construction was finished in 1982.  Julian purchased the boat in 1984 and raced the west coast circuit for several years.  The original numbers on it were JS-100.  In 1986 Julian won the National High Point Championship, giving him the right to change his numbers to JS-1.

Julian sold the boat in 1990 to Kenny Kramer of Jersey who than sold it to Caesar Simonelli of Long Branch, N.J.  Caesar took a mold off it than sold it to Robert Presley who  races it today as Kentucky Blue JS-9 on the APBA circuit.

The Rucki family not only owned Snow Goose, but Julian's brother, Richard owned Blade Runner - JS13.  Here they are running side by side.
