What kind of boat is this?

Where'd you get the pic? Looks more like one of the overseas styles...

**chewiekw** · 02-22-2009 03:37 PM

yes it is a boat that raced overseas, but not sure where it was built. or what kind...

It was an all aluminum V-Bottom ,Sergio Mioen, ran it a few times here in the states. It was red the last time I saw it.

They probably wished they had built it in aluminum so they would never have faced the serious delamination problems on this composite boat.

Just found a few pics of this Cowes Torquay winning boat, plus a couple of shots of it in a later guise in KW, where as Olli says it delaminated......

Hey, thanks.

But now I'm confused...

The three pics on the bottom are a fiberglass boat and the pic above is an aluminum boat? There were two identical boats other than build materials?

Four Mercruiser SC750s when I saw it at Cowes in 1993.

**littlenige** · 01-22-2012 07:16 AM

Rat I'm pretty sure there was only one but I stand to be corrected. The pic at top is clearly the same boat as took part at Cowes (Sm Racer). Is there video of it somewhere where the commentator described it as being of aluminium contruction? There have been quite a few gaffs over the years by commentators who've got it wrong......!?!?

**Ratickle** · 01-22-2012 07:51 PM

A commentator getting it wrong? Say it isn't so......

For a boat that won several big events, I've sure been unable to find out much about it.....

There were rumors out there the boat was turned into a pleasure boat and shipped to Italy...

Anyone know for sure? And if so, was that at Douglas Marine when these shots were taken?
