Cougar 41' - Page 2

Here the 41'. Are clearly the bigger dimensions. Note the Team Seahawk colours and the writings "1984 US National Champion 1985" (the two Titles of Magluta) and the Magluta's personal race number #25.
There are no doubt about the fact it was a third Cougar tin cats of the Team Seahawk.
In 1988 the same 41' in Bengal Bay Club version.

Yes Tim,was in Guernsey.
I remember well the cat arrived in Viareggio one week before the race. Was so beautiful! I loved it!
And I taken a lot of pictures and I remember that the cockpits were in the original version without semi-canopy.

Okay..if you say so....but that boat looks an awful lot like the original Collection/Sea Hawk....... and I always assumed it was only one boat. If you say it is a newer 41' and the other an older 38' , I'll accept that, but I never made a distinction back in the day and am a little disappointed in myself. That qualifies as the one error I made in 1987.......

Those Seahawks make a little confusion in ours minds.

The only 38' was the first cat,former The Collection,then Seahawk in 1984 and Team Seahawk in 1986 for Magluta(1984) and Falcon.
The 36' was the first cat builded for Magluta in 1985.
The 41' was a second builded for Magluta.
Here the 36'. It seems that it became Reporter for Curtis/Currington in 1988-89.

Reporter was the Malguta cat that crashed and nearly killed him, it was supposed to be scrapped but cougar re built it from the ground up !!
It arrived lat at St Tropez in '66 for first round of Europeans, Stebie C had teamed Up with Fruitier and son..When the boat went in the water they found someone had used the wrong rivets and it was like the head of a watering can all along the topsides......................

For that little that I see I think is the 41' after the deck changed in 1989.
