A group of friends are looking at something fun, fast and used to race on. We all chip in and buy a decent and fairly competitive vessel. A Farr 40 was suggested. Any comments on that or other similar race boats that might be considered.

It's a rocket...

from everything I've ever read about them. If you are into racing, check out the website below, pretty cool stuff with lots of links and up to date info. Read about the "Flying Tiger" being built in China!

Ken, what? Where?

Do you have one lined up? Maybe you should let me test it for you. Don't mind if I bring my checkbook do you? :)

More Affordable Racing Option

Having a group to all participate as equal partners offers a great way to "go big" without going into "big debt". Each person puts up $50,000. We have an annual fee that goes into the warchest. We properly maintain the boat and never cut corners with regards to repairs. The real trick is to get all 6 to be on the same page before one dollar is spent. Everything is documented (contract) with the option of an escape clause (with $ penality) to the member who leaves early. There will be a beginning and an end to the time we own the boat. At the end of the day, we all become great friends, have a great time racing, and and drink lots of beer after a day on the water.

Good Question.

I might suggest that we all find what we like to do best. I personally could care less about driving...I like to work the fordeck. Big dumb guys in the group just like to grind. I'm sure things will work out.
