01-05-2010 03:20 AMOffshore 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.

Actually Warpaint was Labatt Guniune Draft, Canada Homes was a different boat that ended up in Japan I think.

01-05-2010 05:26 PMI am positive that Warpaint is the old Canada Homes boat, at least that is what I heard straight from Lorne's mouth. The boat is a Michael Peter's cat and was built by Ontario yachts. See here for more information. http://www.teamwarpaint.com/about3.html

I know all that...and know personally the whole slap-a-hoe crew...
In fact I´m their biggest and only fan in Europe
I just thought to ask anyone what´s the true story from day 1 for that boat.
And whats the story of the Apache Cats...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.

Go to http://boatmad.com/gallery/main.php. 99.9% of the pics (of raceboats) posted in American forums are from Flying Fish's almighty gallery.
It is. Pics from the sales ad:

Hey I could be wrong. Canada Homes and Labatt's were SOOO different I thought it was a different boat. CH had 2 Canopies and 5's when Labatt's first came out it had the double wide canopy and surface drives with twin rudders, and now it is back to #6 drives.....

01-05-2010 06:52 PMRyan I recall Lorne saying that the boat was cut down a handful of feet from when he used to race it, this conversation took place in Key West a few years back, so I might not be remembering it correctly. But assuming the boat was cut down I could see the changes to the drives etc. being done at the same time.

This subject came up on the other offshore site, it is apparently the same boat, in a few of the pictures you can see it has a standoff box built across the whole transom along with a tunnel extension, in some earlier photos it's a flat transom and no extension. I read somewhere that Jack Studeville did the transformation....
