New raceboat for Marathon

Nothing to do with us and not being built in the UK as far as I know - Photos are in the public domain so no breach of confidence either. Big petrols and the boat may be ready for Cowes Torquay?

Looks like the something interesting might be going on with the deck? The top sides seem a lot higher towards the bow?

It's Canadian - if you have a look under Vector on Facebook you'll see their page - glad it's not coming out of our place!

The leisure version has a retractable wing - it's an Ocke Mannerfelt design

If it is 40 ft UIM the min weight is 4400 kg, Marathon Rules.
Michael Silfverberg told me that the Lucas Oil boat did not need any ballast to run in P1.
1450 hp x 3,5 kg= 5075 kg. That is HEAVY with the Ilmors...

Funnily enough I'm not sure weight is the same issue it would be for P1 - with lots of power a bit of weight would be an advantage offshore in bigger waves - i would build in a decent sized bow tank unless it's a classic Ocke then it probably wouldn't need much at all. Ocke boats tend to run nose heavy ........ Of course the P1 boat may have been made stronger because they could to meet the minimum weight - As far as I know that was the first and only race boat out of that mould?
