Why don't you call the factory and ask Steve. The Big Red that he has told me about was a 41 and was built out of wood.

big red(s) were not 41's. 38' and change, add integrated platform and round up...shazam! 41'.
cut down the hull and use an integrated platform deck...presto! the 39'

This Formula man was a two time new Velocity owner over 9 years. First met Steve in 1991. They all speak of it (Red) these days as a 41, 'cause it's the same bottom. Certianly they do on the website so as not to confuse the masses. :rolleyes:


Suffice it to say, the originator of this thread knows what he's talking about.

As for the LOA, the present day 41' would be marketed as a 43' if the original boats were 41' without a platform, now wouldn't they? See my last post. ;)

Believe what you want...

The wood boat ran well. I have some video of it racing several races, here somewhere.

This 26' flying in perfect trim would be me circa 1994
