I recall Jo telling me that boat originally went to an owner in South Africa but I may be wrong.

just curious
thanks

Sean Stinson, I believe.

BTW the 41 "Panache" was based in part off the 42 Chief.

Pantera bought the 41 mold from a start up company that went out of business (whole not her story on that) I seen the mold at the factory and Joe explained to me how Pepe designed the insert for the step. The mold is a straight bottom so you can have it either way. Joe gave me a nice tour of the factory that day explaining the lay up process and all and I would like to say he was one of the nicest guys that I have met in the boat business RIP Joe.
