    What kind of boat is this?

    So the SM Racer became the S-100. Is it the only one of its kind? How many were made of the Sgittarius? Was that the same company that built another design of you, the Sagittarius Dart? One more of the most beautiful canopied Mono ever made: Engines

    CUV scores C-T-C victory 25 years after it's last C-T-C victory

    Does not look that bad but I prefer the way they built them especially those by Picchiotti. Btw, I thought the 558 is Rossi's number :huh: Another one:

    CUV scores C-T-C victory 25 years after it's last C-T-C victory

    Found BT's old post: "it is not a CUV but originally it was built by the SIAI-Ambrosini - a brand specialized in the constructions in light alloy of the aeronautic branch of SIAI-Marchetti were builders of the most famous Italian bombers of the second world war. The boat that I believe was a 28'...

    CUV scores C-T-C victory 25 years after it's last C-T-C victory

    Speaking of BT, he once explained the roots of this "CUV" 25': Class I & II (By Name) / STUDIO SMANIA (1979).jpg Is this the same boat?: Offshore I & II Pits / LA CORNACHIETTA (1984).jpg

    Either sell my Bertram Competition 38' or make into a 5 seater with bigger power

    I don't know if Platinum Powerboats are still alive. If they are, try to contact Mr. Andreas Trost there. He is Dr. Oskar Trost's son and should have more pics of Miss WD40. He told me years ago that he still owns a 38 Competition but I'm not sure if it is Miss WD40.

    Apache transatlantic boat

    Had a look in my archive and it seems I mixed up some things. You were right, they planned to use a 65' Thunderchief powered by 2 GM 16cyl. diesels for that transatlantic record attempt. RIK has posted a pic of the prototype in a thread here on sos. I guess the whole 'project' was just a way to...

    Apache transatlantic boat

    Do you think of the one with the helm towering on a pylon a couple of feet above the deck? Should have a rendering of that one somewhere but I can't imagine it was ever built.

    Thad Allen's Apache + The Birth of the Cheetah Cat

    Apache Pic thread;

    Well, well, well. Was my statement over the top? Kind of. Did I bash the wrong person? Kind of. The thing I complain about is not that P19 (Paddy?) posted pics he has not taken himself. As he said above I do that all the time and I simply do that because I have not been there back then to take...
