No they ran in big Water I guess expediency instead of having to dive into a sinking boat to retrieve it. I saw the Logic after we (under orders) set up a boat with two 2 man rafts the boat went down one was pulled out but in the rush the second was inflated on the way out of the round hole in the main bulkhead.

Ah, misunderstood your inference. Looks like a raft on the back of the Tussaud boat in my last post.

09-22-2009 05:20 AMThe ironic thing is that Trussardi was Alitalia Due which was co driven by Davy Wilson,and in actual fact a Picchiotti built hull not a CUV,although the CUV/Picchiotti politics has been documented on OSO by `Black Tornado` in the past.
The rear gunners seat is usually the givaway between a 38 and a 41.

As I understand a lot of the Italian tin boats were Designed by Mr Shead and the first did not have any strakes they were added later on.

Very nice. Thanks guys! I see Sun International on there as well. As I recall that was the CUV that ultimately became Panatta's Thuraya right?
Jim any guess wether the Modified class "United Racing Engines" entry driven by Al Garbett was a Pantera?Last edited by Dude! Sweet!; 09-22-2009 at 02:04 PM.

09-22-2009 12:54 PMCUV made deck changes to various CUV boats.
Alitalia Due looked much the same when it became Dry Martini 2 and then Ego.Then the deck seemed to be modified when it became Rothmans Ego and then Ouragon and then Trussardi.
Black Tornado could well comment on all this if he dialled in.Between us we have looked at these past boats to fiqure out the history and it`s quite a minefield believe me.
I can tell you that when the original Alitalia boats were drawn (strakes and all) for the Picchiotti build,the only other involvement by Don Shead was to extend the lines to 41ft.The construction drawings for the Alitalia boats were used for the CUV boats and presumably modified as most people do.They were a work of art ,alloy boats are,even back to the days of Thunderbird and Momma Maritime and the Vosper built Flying Fish.
Can`t comment on the bow stamp.Maybe a lifting code.
Alberto Smania had the Alitalia Tre eventually.

Davy and myself worked together on tooling projects and some other stuff, we were discussing Bottoms on the Italian Boats when something was mentioned about an early build without strakes that was ran and they were added later His comment was it ran fine, As for the drawings I can’t Imagine doing a set without the lift strips/spray rails being shown, I did not mean my comment that way.
