    Thanks for that link Mario. The reporter states it's a 157'. It looks like a Christensen and the length would indicate the same. Given the integrity of Christensen's hulls, seen below in the 2-point pic, it looks like a road will sink before their boats will. ;)

    It has a bulbousbow as far as i could have seen. I guess there is an element of risk and danger in nearly everything that we do.
