I really look forward to working in Cracker Boy Boat Works in Riviera Beach, FL as there are usually some cool raceboats there. I have shown some pics of Speedboat in the past. They were rigging both Speedboat and Genuine Risk. These are awesome machines.
This mast is worth more than most sailboats in the world. Five sets of spreaders, all carbon and synthetic lines, wow.
These boats have canting keels which can be levered outto windward for an immense righting force.
One of the reasons these boats come to Cracker Boy is that there is sufficient water here. This boat draws 18'.
Just barely fits into the slip for the travel lift.
There is a lot of work going on now prepping the boat to go north for this years Bermuda race and to be ready for another attempt at a trans Atlantic attempt.
I will follow with another post with some very cool photos that I snagged off the internet.
