I see the flying phantom is being shown to the public at the Paris boat show. It looks like an awesome bit of kit! http://www.catsailingnews.com/2013/11/flying-phantom-launch-at-paris-boat.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.catsailingnews.com/2013/11/flying-phantom-launch-at-paris-boat.html My only concern is that it could kill other classes. The obvious one is the F18 class but they are really strong so I am not sure.... Anyway, this boat is on my Christmas list  ------------- https://www.sailingchandlery.com/rope-for-sale.html" rel="nofollow - Rope for sale https://www.sailingchandlery.com" rel="nofollow - Sailing Chandlery - Online Chandlery - Number 1 Rated |

Was the chase boat used for filming actually an Albacore? ------------- Stewart |

It looks great. I fear it will remain the sailing version of a 'track day special'. F18 and Nacra 17 will remain the most important cat racing in the UK. I can't see any half-boat heros moving over to something better. ------------- Stewart Smith |
