Ajac Hawk
 

Any idea when the changeover occured from 35 to 37.5.
1978/1979/1980/1981?

In December of 1978, we were all in Mar del Plata Argentina, and Jerry Jacoby and Bobby Saccenti showed up with a new boat all wrapped in plastic.

When the cover came off, the numbers on the back of the boat were 37.6. Jerry had Don Aronow block the 39 foot mold and pulled this 37.6 foot boat out of it.

The boat would not win a race until June of 1980 in the Bahamas 200.

Later of course, it became known as the Top Gun 38 model.

Hi Doctor!
When I have seen the photo that you have put of the Champagne Mum to the first hit I have immediately thought about the legendary 35' of Doxford. Would been for that #77 so equal.
Then making an "american comparison" and using my lenses I have drawn the conclusion that Champagne Mum was the Bloodhound with the cockpit modified that made it more next to the Limit Up.

The first Ajac Hawk was the 35' former American Eagle/Natural Light but then it wasn't lengthened to 37'5. Simply Jacoby bought a new Cigarette derived from the mould of the 35' but long of 2 feet and a half more.
That of the 35' Ajac Hawk simply lengthened to 37'5 it's a novel put around by someone.

I think that you are right thinking that the Eagle One was the next Mr.Terrible even if the photo is not of quality to see well certain details. But is enough for me to see one particular to be almost certain of that.
The beautiful photo of the Mr Terrible that you have put comforts me in the fact that it was the old first Michelob Light of Ippolito.

Yep steeb,Rodriguez's Hot Shot it seems was a 37'6 as the second Hajac,even if from the photo that you have put it seems more a 35.'
The first Popeyes for Copeland was another Cigarette 37'6,that whose bow was fatal to Joel Halpern.
Then Copeland had another white Popeyes but Scarab 38', that became Honcho.
Stiletto was the former first Popeyes 37'6.

Thanks guys for your input re Ajac Hawk and Mr.Terrible.
I will adjust my database.
I notice there now mumurs of having a historical listing of Cigarettes,Magnums,Scarabs etc,and as Marco and Little Nige know, I have been working on this for a number of years and am constantly updating it with the odd piece of new info that appears on these sites.There will come a time when hopefully it will be fully updated.So this is to say that something does exist (so far circa 200 builders plus one off`s are filed,and for reference Cougar are the biggest with Skater coming close).
The listing forms a companion to the race result sheets on Boatmad.com,so the lower classes in the USA are not covered.
By the way Marco,any progress with the CUV update?

:sorry: any progress with the CUV by the moment.:o

Some more CRT pix for your database.....Saugatuck, Michigan '82.
The Popeyes shot is kinda funny; where's Ware? Can only assume that Al is waving to their missing navigator...marooned back at Coral Gable's bar?!
