    Nope.
    Offshore Racing wasn´t designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle. It's man vs the elements, not like boats with like engines running in circles.

    I thought the 39's were stretched 36's and the 38 were different. The bottoms could be the same.
    BTW, thanks for the pic.

    The 40's were stretched 36's.....all widebodies.

    The 35 X 8 was stretched to 39 and then that mold was blocked down to a 37.6 and the Ajac Hawk was pulled out of that. Years later when the movie Top Gun came out, they grabbed the name and used it for the 37.6.

    Thanks! I got my 36 and 35 mixed up. I knew they put the raised "step" in the rubrail so the tail would not be under water when idle.
