"Ben Aronoff".
Sort of lost me a bit right there. As the article suggests, by changing names it gives them license to change the story too. I'll still watch it if it comes to my part of the world, 2 hours of my life and I'm sure there'll be some cool boats!

They showed Travolta in a 36' Pantera that had been painted up as a Cigarette, if they want to shoot it in Thailand, there's a 38' Cigarette getting painted at the moment that might work..........

Ya, good update. I think it's right, if you change the name you have way less chance of legal action against you. But obviously the effort is there to make it look accurate. ie. white Mercedes. etc.
Interesting magazine.

I hope they don't try to pass the Pantera off as the original "The Cigarette" race boat!?!?!?

Doesnt the original boat exist restored?? I thought Horba had it? they probably have a bit of period correct tidbits of information too......

i believe he was around back in the day, dont know any details but i think he also worked on the set of Miami Vice. He is on here as Mid Ocean and is the author of a book of the same name.
