Gunboat 55: Launching ‘Vandal’
This is one of the coolest paint jobs ever. Edit: Graphics are indeed vinyl wrap designed by a graphic artist, friend of the owners, it was printed & applied by MacDesign out of Newport, RI.
This Gunboat 55 , ‘Vandal’ is one of a kind among her sister ships. The launch truck is well suited for a ‘Gunboat’ too. More pics at Gunboat fb page
The other day a client that has bought me 3 RC18 beachcat cruisers to raid the Patagonian Coast sent me a render of a 46′ Cruiser he was about to build… it was a Lagoon type of tank, old stuff and I told him he’d better take a look to the Nigel Irens designed GB55 for a modern Cruiser. I sent him later some 3D sketch renders samples I made, will publish later.
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
