One race was mentioned in the archives about the UK having the fastest boat, and i'm inclined to think this catamaran was built to be the challenger? This would have been in the early 60's, she is 28' long and 12' beam. Would this have fit the criteria for a P-Class Racer in Lil America's Cup??? Currently getting the rig re-worked and the folks at RigWorks SanDiego have never seen such craftsmanship, apparently aircraft quality parts were used in the mast head & spreaders. What a piece of history, now I just need to learn how to sail her properly. Mahitabel was launched and is now back in the water in Oceanside
