What boat is this?
 
I've seen this boat for several years in WPT. I love this thing, I know it's a ChrisCraft but cannot find the model.
Can anyone help identify this model?

stealth model. :hihi:

I can't upload the pic and I cannot delete the item.
Thank you for the comment, it's faster than any of the sleds you work with the monkey crews

likwid 01-14-2011 09:13 PM

A couple of them have seen 40+ knots under sail. :)

plenty of video of the volvo ocean race boats doing 20+

YouTube - ABN AMRO 2 footage from Volvo Ocean race.

the blue older beast at the gate went across the gulfstream at 36.5 top
and she's considered past her prime. :)

Going fast under sail does have a price

Tree.
A few times.

Where's nightfighter? I know he's had some crazy rides. :hihi:

nightfighter 01-16-2011 09:42 AM

My rides are ancient history.... long before videos and interblab. If you don't know the players, no one cares....

I dunno, not much needed to know for backstory on Circus Maximus.
Other than the boat was certainly good at destroying crew (and killing one) and saw 30's going across the Atlantic. And that was 25+ years ago!

Nirvana is over at NEB if you want a blast from the past.

Shindig has some great stories from her past.
She's been to Hawaii, spent probably 5-6 years total in the Carribean, did a stint in the Med etc. Been a long 16 years she's been sailing.

nightfighter 01-16-2011 11:03 AM

Well, Circus and Desparado are at the bottom of the Atlantic.... We were nothing more than glorified test pilots, or test dummies. The designers would come to the dock or yard after we came in to see what we had broken, which was our hidden agenda. (Being young, I thought they had a high opinion of our skill...) Tanton, Pedrick, Frers, Chance, they all wanted to see what would really hold up outside of the test tanks. They knew the designs would work, but that the materials might not. So, take the boats to the limits, repair them for a race, get provisioned, pick up the strap hangers, race, repair, start over...

But we were good at breaking boats... dropped rigs, dropped keels, broke rudders, ripped sails, fractured hulls and sunk one. You guys are reaping the benefits of our pushing the limits of what we had available. None of them were all around boats. But we did have a lot of fun.....

likwid 01-16-2011 11:20 AM

Don't worry, we're still breaking em. ;)

"Hmm, thats interesting." -one of the Harken boys on us destroying a main traveler car. Can't imagine what the side loads were considering what the car and ball bearings are supposed to be able to hold up to.

If thats the boat I think it is, it was a cabin model converted.
Gorgeous job chopping it up.

Hmmm, didn't think so. It's sweet, drives me nuts.

Rip Runner 01-16-2011 08:31 PM

It is difficult from only that picture, but it does look a-lot like a Strike 26.

striperman36 01-16-2011 08:35 PM

It says Chris Craft on it, it has an inboard and a walk down sleeping area in the front.
