Anyone know the full history of this boat?
Pretty sure that it is a formula 40. Looks like the on that Randy Smythe sailed when they were in their heyday. So that would be 'Smythe Team'
Looks like it is chartering, tell me you did not leave withouta ride!
Yep, done a bit of homework, think I am right.
if you look at the website for the charter boat;

there is a picture of it sailing which gives its ID away.the sail number is US144 and it is pretty much a una-rig.
It was launched in 1986 by Randy Smyth. It was called a Stiletto 40 and was made from some cut down 46' stiletto molds!
As 'The Smyth Team', it ripped into the European Formula 40 fleet and won on it's second outing, beating the French at their home event in Quiberon.
I saw it at the Southampton Grand Prix, which it won.
This boat was part of the high point of european multihull racing. We have the VX40's at the end of the month but it won't be the same.
