A pair of teams made short work of the 100 miles worth of Atlantic Ocean between Palm Beach and Bermuda, https://www.speedonthewater.com/cata...eway-marathon/

Little confused was the time subtracted from LUCAS that he gave to the Cig team? What was the times of both without the penalty and delay start?


I am more impressed that it was that close, wow.

Sorry to confuse. Because the Cigarette 515 broke out a minute was added to its total time. The Mystic time was not modified.

The delayed start was done for fun ... to see if the cat could catch the V-bottom. For the purpose of record setting, each boat was on its own clock.

The only thing that confuses me is the logic of putting a speed-cap on a long-distance record attempt? That would be like disqualifying Usain Bolt from the 100M final for running too fast!.

I was wondering about This also

its class racing not open class, no different than drag racing on a dial in or index, if you go under the dial in you breakout and lose

Thinking back on the Offshore Races that HORBA put on between Sunny Isles, (Miami, Haulover Cut) to Bimini and back in the early 2008, 2010 years of 100 miles distance.

I don't think the record for the cat that averaged 145 MPH for that full 100 mile distance, has ever been broken.

Break out no record as always oh yea Cigarette very honest! NOT!

wow that was close!
