The #20 Spirit of Qatar raceboat, who is the manufacturer of that hull?

Smarty, you've been on here daily for 14 years and you dont recognize the 'humps" past the cockpit of an MTI??? I'm disapointed in you! :D

The former Reliable Carriers 42' MTI, no less.

That said, cut Smarty a break. It looks a lot different than it used to.

International racing is the real deal, John may have underestimated his position in racing, there is always someone in the shadows who can do it better and has more money, he is in for a fight he is going to regret. Who would no go for the recognition and exposure when someone else is picking up the tab ! John you really screwed up and awoke a sleeping Tiger.

still waaaay too early to say this is dead or that is dead....'prospectors' have come and gone before...this is a wait and see situation. one note of concern (to me) i have not heard of a single renowned team in the u.s. who has agreed to sign on to this.

I'm curious as to who is going over also. Why is this any different than last year? They had the same offer and it didn't happen.

the carcuses of OSS will be bangin on the sheiks door ! LOL

it's different from before because sbi has now banned qatar from racing. and OPGP has officially announced a 4 or 5 races series in the u.s. to compete directly with sbi. OPGP has also taken the sarasota race site from SBI. there is clearly a strong intent for this new group to organize...but the participant list still seems nebulous.only team that has officially declared participation is qatar, no less. http://www.offshorepowerboatgp.com/
