Roy Brady and the Brady Comet

Roy Brady is the grandfather of PYC member John Grant. The following was sent by Michael Grant, John and Rita's son. The story may be of interest to anyone who cares about wooden boats, and, especially, Century boats.

"Before the Thoroughbreads; Roy Brady and the Century Boat Company" by Geoffrey Reynolds (Classic Boating, May-June 2006) describes Brady, his racing experience, and his position with Century Boats. The article is cited in Bibliography of Publications by Hope College Faculty for the Year 2006
