New 2010 X-Cat Race Boat

[2TR]

Cost is 65k for bare boat, 120 fully rigged with choice of new engines or you can supply your own gear and we will rig it, she is lightweight epoxy with high density foam bulkheads

I would assume the price in in Euro's witch is approx 165k usd. Seems like a good price for a new race ready boat.

Do you get the rest of the tunnel for that price?

And more importantly, is it Xcat safety legal now?

The tunnel does look a little funky. Who makes it and has it won?

Looks like it will have something adjustable added.

I really like the aft portion of the canopy . Kinda fits in with what I was asking about in the "safety pod " thread .
Thanx for posting these pics .

This boat will comply with the new 2010 canopy rules and regs.

so it already has the water deflectors/crash bulkheads? They built this in the last month or so?

Helllloooooooooo NURSE! I love it.. Is the Brand "X-CAT" or is it something else?

No idea, I think its being built now.. It's from one of those Euro sites and what caught my eye was the price.

Front end ia a little square, not to aerodynamic looking

I would assume that boat needs a lot of work to meet the new requirements.

From the site:

Just an update on the XCat, cockpit mod's are now in progress and should be finished sometime this week.

Looks like its a 2010 legal boat.. ugly front, but it sound like a legal boat.

I'd presume that a streamlined leading edge will be fitted and bonded to the tunnel front before it's finished as is indicative by the recessed bonding lines top and bottom.

If they are doing work after those pics, then possibly, but in those pics it has some work needed.

Obviously it still needs the roll cage, the windscreen recess redone to accept a mask, the double flange lip on the cockpit hatch and sounds like it still needs all the crash bulkhead panels installed.

A new boat has to meet the most restrictive standards, sounds like they got caught with some bad timing building that boat this off season.

This looks to be the same as Ian Blacker's king Fisher which finished 2nd to Fazza in last year class 3 worlds in Italy. Built in the Uk.... from all new tooling.....

Is it based off a DW?

 

[Ryan Beckley]

No, it is based off of a scaled down Class 1 design.

Interesting boat.
