This is one of the better interviews with the legend himself, Larry Smith.

Thx Lars!

A great read.

interesting comments on cats and Offshore racing going inshore.

I have a similar vintage PB magazine with Don A saying the same 😉

Is there just one version of the 38 hull? For instance the lower bustle on the short lived Scarab 400 is bolted on below the rub rail but the deck is one piece.
The raised deck and forward helm position gives it totally different appearance but the hull looks similar.
