YES, there are specs, drawings and more...and these boats are being produced and marketed by a few well known and respected individuals with many years "EXPERIENCE". Should be very interesting to see the finished product and it's performance!

From the Baltimore Sun 9/15/02 Maryland section.
"Each 41 foot, 550 pound canoe-like boat holds 22 people: 20 paddlers, a drummer in the front and the steerer in the back."
Local teams from various businesses compete for charity.

Craig Barrie is heading this adventure up. He ran Cigarette for like 20+ years! and from what I've heard he is mainly responsible for the Cafe Racer conseption. I think he knows a thing or two about building a first class bad ass boat!! Cool guy too, met him at the SCOPE Poker run. He is supposed to be at the Havasu poker run in October as well.

I seen some folks dragonboats down to the launch ramp at the enda my street just last weekend. I think one of 'em was onea them thar cigar boats?

Sean

tank,

The Cafe Racer was introduced in 1986 and Don was still at the helm...not knocking Craig, but the Cafe Racer was before his time. I'm gonna go out on a limb and sat that BROWNIE may have had his hand in the Cafe design...but I could be wrong.

thisistank

Hey, just stating what I heard....Now I realize Don was still around in 86 and of course running the show. However I believe Craig was at Cig at this time and most likely had something to do with the boat thus creating the opinion of some that I know (who own cafe's) That he had a major part in the production and design of the cafe. Tell you what though, when I see him at the Havasu fall poker run I'll talk to him about this

i think youre right sean, i dont believe craig was there for 20 years. acually there wasnt much design change at cigarette when craig was there.
