Gordon Miller, of Point Richmond, has been racing boats, mostly sailboats, in the Bay Area for more than 70 years. He has lived and sailed on San Francisco Bay since he left the U.S. Navy in 1945, excluding 22 months he spent in Walnut Creek and a tour of duty during World War II.I always said I came from hearty stock.

He will be at the helm Thursday of the 36-foot Skater Cat, a catamaran powered by two 1,000-hp engines that give it a top speed of 150. With Fred on board, Miller expects to depart the Discovery Bay Yacht Club in Contra Costa County around 9 a.m. and head about five miles to flat water on the river where he'll set what is expected to be the speed record on water by a 100-year-old man.
