New Cig 50 w/1350's
Looks great, not sure on the ghosted Tiger theme though. 
I would assume from the flag on the bow the boat is going to Turkey.

LOL I remember that the day of a water test of a new Cigarette was so exciting.
Of course the boats were smaller, 28 and 35 and 40's and the tests always took place in the afternoons when they could be assured the winds would be up. The main part of the test was to make sure the boats could be run in ocean waters and not come apart. That was a real bragging point with other boat makers.
Would be nice to see this boat, with that power and that size, be run in other than dawn calm water conditions. A Cigarette is still a Cigarette and can run where other boats fear to tread....so let's see it run.
