I've got the original blue prints somewhere in my mess.

A Couple a after restoration pictures of the same boat

Good job!
I remember when that cat came in Viareggio. I hoped could be as the Jesse James, but when I saw it in water it was so different instead from it. Less weapon.
I don't know if it were guilt of the greatest length, of the Lambos or of Fruitier, but that cat didn't go so fast. It find difficult to take the glide.
I remained disappointed.

We remained disappointed as well.............. It was our second Open class boat and was designed to go quite fast. However, at that time there was little experience with the Lambo's and the Fruitiers were also basically rookies as well.They did seem to get better at it as time went on, and the boat did win Cowes-Torquay one year.

The late Grand Prix driver, Didier Pironi, acted as sort of an "agent/manager" for the project and it took various twists and turns as he wheeled and dealed. At one point he was negotiating to build a boat out of carbon fiber, before this one was completed. It was very confusing to all involved.

I am thrilled that it has been restored and it looks great....

Nice job on a truly unique Euro/American collaboration.

Rick, Thanks for posting the Pic's of BULL THROTTLE ! That boat really did turn out nice.

Sparky did you guys every run that thing when you finished it? How did it go? It was very cool to see at St Clair a few years ago.

Ryan, never had it in the water had everything just running on the hose, The boat is in conneticut just being a museum peice.:(

does anyone have the hull plans for the 35

I do......

This isn't something that will be out in the public domain......and it always amazes me that people ask for proprietary information.

If we went to all the trouble of building reverse angles subtly into each of the Conquests to prevent "popping"......why in the world would we give out the plans??????
