When in these days I have checked on Magazines Photos I have not seen Team France.
Sea Escape had it but it was lost among the other photos and only after I wrote on OSO I re-found it.
Reebok I had the strong suspicion that was the ex Saratoga but I wanted a confirmation.
Yanmar being the first SDA built by Codecasa for CUV I believe also goes to list CUV.
But where would it have raced? In Japan?

at least Atami '93. I have a short portrait of that team on tape (from Japanese TV) in which they show pictures of that boat in the building process and Sugihara explaines but unfortunately my japanese is very, very elementary. I have an info sheet from Yanmar Europe somewhere. Will try to find it.

Do you think it was a new boat expecially built for the Jap or the former SDA according to Graham?

Littlenige - this could be the boat - but he has done a lot of work on the boat & trailer - We ran the boat with KE engines 900 's to get trohpy's - this boat is all shinned up to get trophy's in bikini's -

Yanmar Boat

Trawling through the fish files,a reference was made to the boat being ex-SDA,but on looking in a CUV 25th anniverary booklet it makes reference to the said craft as being M.Peters design in 1992,and SDA was P.Birkett designed.Both boats have same dimensions.Another red herring for the devotees to contend with.Also using the Inspector Marco`s patented magnifying glass ,it would appear there are dfferences in the aft end and gunwale detail,although it could have been modified but I doubt it.So lie easy in your bed tonight Inspector,Post 18 looks correct.

Approved and filed!
By now you also know how to use you my lenses Doc and that particulars that you have also noticed they made me perplexed. Also because in 1993 I believe that that aircraft carrier still belonged to the fleet of Polli.
This lengthens the list of the cats built from and on behalf of CUV to 24 certain.
Today I have started to see the fruits of the hard job in darkened room.
To days it will be ready the complete list at least to the 80%.
Now I go to sleep dreaming CUV from 36' ,38' ,40' ,42.'........a nightmare.
