42 Cigarette

TO: MrCig
What year was the 42 ft Cigarette you posted (dark colored hull).
I am intrigued by the lines of the boat, as the only 42's I am aware of pre-188 Revolution and Tiger are the pure race boats of the '70's. There was such a red 3-engined monster in Milwaukee at one time called 'Game Cock'. Perhaps you knew the boat. I don't recall any that look like your photo.
Thanks!!

But it's possible that we met often in the paddock.
At that time I was always in Montecarlo and Viareggio races.
I was there when Stefano Casiraghi was killed in the second race of the World Championships in Montecarlo in 1990.

I don't know what year it is but if you go to Bam's Web site there are more picturs of it there. It is a great looking boat.

Hello Phil M,
You are so right. They should just change the name now to Sport Boat Racing rather then Offshore Racing. Running offshore and having to really navigate was a great equalizer and many a races was won by a team that could navigate and wasn't worried about running in the big water offshore where it took more then just speed to win. Makes you
wonder how many can read and chart out a offshore course anymore?
Thank you
Jim
