FYI, the tooling (plug and moulds) were built in the US for ICE Marine, as it was more cost effective.
It runs 82mph and is 52 feet long.

It's a truely lovely piece of work!
The designer 'Lorne Campbell' is pretty well known over here, and a friend of mine. He was responsible I think for the re-vamping of Formula's hulls when they went over to having steps.
BTW, 'Round Britain' is a 2000 mile run.
Some bumf on Lorne:
Lorne Campbell, Consultant, Navatek Ltd., is an independent Naval Architect, Designer and Consultant specializing in the field of high speed power craft for all fields of operation. Apprenticed to Vosper Ltd (1965 - 1970) he attended Newcastle University and Portsmouth Polytechnic. He moved to Fairey Marine and then Rotork Marine before helping to set up Capoco Design Ltd, contract designers for the marine and automotive industries, in 1977. Leaving Capoco in 1981 he has operated, since, as Lorne Campbell Design in the design and consultancy of a wide variety of fast leisure, commercial, military and racing power craft. Offshore racing and power craft he designed have gained 11 world championships, 18 national championships and 7 world speed records as well as numerous individual wins. In 2005, his 51 foot Bladerunner design gained the Round Britain speed record with a time of 27 hours and 10 min – 3.5 hours less than the previous record – while achieving an average speed of 53.4 knots (61.5 mph). He is an Associate Member of The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, a member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and serves on the RINA Small Craft Committee

I remember it was called the SS Enterprise, but I didn't realize that was its *real name.
I thought the kids were just being funny.
