Does anyone know what happened to the RMW 40 foot cat idea, or are we seeing some sort of relationship here????

I think the RWO 40 died a death as a result of no sponsership, but It is only an "I think". 

Nice to see people thinking about 40 footers again after the death of the F40's

this is just a reincarnation of the F40's and i think a partnership of the RMW 40 idea , as from memory Mitch had an imput in that aswell did he not...

The moment of truth will be when they announce some teams who have put up the £££££ to play. There are none so far. I wish them luck, but launching on the back of the VO which is itself desperately short of entries, doesn't seem the best start in life for a class.

why don't they use the 70' boat that £millions have just been spent on so that there is a chance of a decent fleet without all of them being unable to afford it
