I know the Schockazulu thing has been done to death, but I was checking out the CBFT website just now and found the following quote in regards to the Schock 40:

The Schock 40 is the first production boat featuring the innovative CBTF™ (Canting ballast twin foil) system. Developed and patented by DynaYacht, the CBTF™ system reduces the amount of ballast normally found on a boat this size by 50%. Yet the boat retains all the stability and control necessary for round the buoys and ocean racing at a performance level found in boat's nearly twice its size. This system has been tested and refined on the racecourse for over four years of successful sailing and racing without a hiccup. This system is rock solid.


Uh, they may want to revise that.

You actually could say that it reduces the amount of ballast found on a boat of this size by 100%...

The people they have maintain that website know nothing about the boats they have given their licenses to. For the MaxZ86 Pyewacket this is how the list the specifications:

Length Over All 71.08 ft.
Beam 15.03 ft.
Draft 12.03 ft.
Displacement 27060 sq. ft.
Designer Reichel / Pugh, USA
Builder McConaghy Boats, Australia

then for the MaxZ86 Morning Glory we get this-

"Reichel/Pugh's new 80-foot sloop Morning Glory, built for German industrialist Dr Hasso Plattner, has a pedigree that few, if any, other offshore grand prix sailboats can claim: it was designed using state-of-the-art America's Cup calibre design tools, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), velocity prediction programs (VPP), tank testing and ultra-advanced construction methods and materials. With Southern Ocean sea trials in December under her belt, Morning Glory makes her debut in the January Cape Town to Rio Race.

Designed to the upper limit of the IMS - the ILC maxi rules - the boat joins only one other boat on the grand prix circuit (Reichel/Pugh's 66-footer Exile) in its extensive use of such advanced tank testing and computational tools to optimise performance. "

Someone hasnt done their homework

umm, so what exactly are you saying? the schock 40 is a pretty solid boat. the problems they had with them were with the boats with welded keels. there were 2 different batches, some have welded keels, some have molded keels. the ones with molded keels are doing just fine. whats your point?

[Cement_Shoes]

Celph,

calling shock40 keels rock solid is a stretch even for marketing and pr.

unless they mean most are solid and one notably is a rock.
