Interesting also that race boat designer H.S. built the trojan deltaconic hulls and one of my favorite fishboat/cruisers: Trojan 10.8
This is a truly great thread. Thanks Brownie and all. Steve could you please archive it as BOAT HULL ORIGINS or something like that when this thread trickles out? Thanking you in advance!

Don's reply was "want to bet $1000.00 ", The bet was made and the next morning a Donzi 18 was rolled into the shop and the 20 Cigarette was born. Beat him with his own boat.

I have great respect for Richie Sutphen (great racers are just meant to be called Richie, I guess) as he always brought a smile and a warm greeting to each race...before beating the crap out of you..... a real boat racer.

Brownie are you EVER taking the book out. You have the best info and stories of "Real offshore racing" i can just imagine all the pics you have stored with cow webs. Do the book for our generation as those glory days are long gone. Ever since i started going with my dad to races ( which you know him early 90"s) things have changed SOOOOOOOOO much for the worst and it's not turing around. All we have are guys like you and a few others that can share that with us. Now stop pimping all the hot chicks you know and make us a book... Keep young Brownie
