Where is it now
 

Anyone ever herd of the 34' sutphen called learning to fly, it was orginally the tsunami race boat that campained in the B class, Just kinda of curious what ever happned to it I can remember seing it at one of the shootouts at loto a long time ago really a cool old boat! Thanks.

isnt this the boat 40icbm now has?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Stormrider, no the boat that 40icbm, has is not the same one, it is a p4 class boat, and I'm not sure but before it was a p4 I think that it raced in factory 2 for a couple of years. The learnin to fly boat is the first tsunami, it won the 1993 worlds, in the B-class under the # B-26 When I seen it at the shootout and met the owner, he had a big scrap book of the complete re-do/re-rig of the boat. The guy totally re did the boat after the tsunami team retired it It was really a sweet boat, and If I remember right when I seen it at the shootout it was one of the fasest Vee's at the event, this was like in 1997 or something like that but I cant remember for sure.

THIS IS IT!!!!

YES!!!!!! that's it, that running pic looks like its from the shootout! Where is the boat at now?

AHHHHH, all you sutphens look the same.:p

The former owner is a member on here. Im sure he'll chime in. Our boat raced in B class as well as F2, and P-3&4.

40icbm, how does your sutphen run
