Gregor Tarjan, president of Aeroyacht, the multihull dealer and broker based on Long Island, told me at Miami that the first up-market Blubay 45 is nearing completion in South Africa. The express weekender will make its debut at the Newport, Rhode Island, show in September. http://www.aeroyacht.com/BluBay/Power/TC45/Overview.htm Tarjan says he will attempt to establish a record for the New-York-to-Bermuda passage with the Blubay. The Bermuda Challenge Trophy, for record setters in outboard-powered boats 40 feet and under, is held by a Prowler 306 which took 22 hours 23 minutes to scorch the 690-nautical mile distance at an average speed of 30.9 knots. The Prowler was powered by Honda BF225 4-stroke outboard engines. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Power Catamaran World http://www.powercatamaranworld.com
