OK. i have always understood that the Platinums were based on the 43ft Tencara just like the 50ft Mystic was, but you probably know more about the matter than what i do.

He had a couple of boats after "L'Oréal" first then just "Stefan". At a guess, it's one of these later boats that was the Peters deign.

I think Stefan Ackerie's first boat was a Cigarette "Stefan Shampoo" which gave him success down under then he switched to a cat, "Jaeger". I think it was that boat that caught fire and was demolished.

This is how the MP-designed Tencara (Spirit of Norway/Riviera/Maritimo) looks like today, the boat is still owned by Bill Barry Cotter. Not bad for a 23 year old boat.

Though not a raceboat, the Alpha Z is (my opinion) not just the most breathtaking boat Michael Peters (I wrote a profile of him years ago and got to know him a bit) ever designed, but one of the most breathtaking "go-fast" boats ever designed, period.
