http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mITYTlIP0lw this was mostly 4-6', but there were a few holes here-and-there. The Phantom's average speed was 59kts, I think.

And, what a difference a couple of hours can make in sea-conditions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXD96uoMyDI

There are two A41 in the UK, at least one of them ran in both '10 & '11 but DNF.

That Will Smith Phantom 40' Fury / MicroLINK has been pretty tough, placing a couple of times, and winning it last year, and of course, any time Buzzi's RED FPT is running, they are the boat to beat.

If that new Chief can add some pounds in the right places, the Channel ought to be a good place for them to shine.
