Martin Lai the new owner raced the boat on Saturday for the 1st time and the new Pantera 41' had an exhaust manifold problem at the start of the race. Could not get it repaired on Saturday night in Sardinia so the boat could not be raced on Sunday.
It will be ready for the next race in 4 weeks. Alot of testing is scheduled for the new 41' next week in England.
We also shipped the 5 blade Mercury Racing props that we had very good results with from Miami to Sardinia on Wednesday via Fed - EX and they did not make it on time for the race even though they were guaranteed to be in Italy by Saturday morning at the latest.
