Re: Conquest cats
1. The "Cote D'azur" outboard hull is , in fact the Rolling Thunder after it went overseas.
2. The Maxon pictured is the 37' Chris Cat.. I mentioned above....This was a plug that Chris Craft commissioned but decided not to go to market with shortly before they backed out of the cat market completely. The plug was never meant to be raced....and was constructed of materials not suited for marine use.
3. The canopied 35' Jesse James is , in fact, the original 35' as it ran...after..Mark's death. There is a long story around those canopies...but the gist of it is...We had them ...in the shop....before Mark died. Key West, November '86, was to have been the last race without them....and they would have saved his life.
