Offshore World Record - San Fran to San Diego. In a gas powered Cat

[HB Vic]

Just a little teaser, more details coming soon:

A big event will be happening soon, very soon, involving a very large gas powered Cat, that will be attempting to break four (4) speed/time records starting in San Francisco Ca. and finishing in San Diego, Ca. Two other stops and records are also a part of the record breaking attempt. The stops are currently set to be MDR (Marina Del Rey) and The Queen Mary in Long Beach.

Details of the event have not yet been published pending some minor housekeeping items that's should be cleared up shortly.

We, www.hotboat.com (http://www.hotboat.com), hope to be a part of this event and should be able to bring some coverage of the event to our community and the public in general. I know that's a lot of if's, but with the details still pending I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. With a little luck, hotboat.com may be aboard the record setting boat or another chase boat. Again, the details are still being worked out and we will update everyone as soon as we can.

Should be a very interesting event at a minimum. And we will update everyone as soon as more details are available.

Is the boat the red outerlimits. Outlaw Offshore Racing.

[riverrunner1984]

That sounds really cool!

[She's Mine]

Is the boat the red outerlimits. Outlaw Offshore Racing.

I heard a rumor they have been trying to do this. Have had many set backs and delays....

A 50' V powered by a pair of diesels tried this a month or so ago. They left San Francisco and headed south... Got into 10-14' seas and it took them over 9 hours to make it to Long Beach.

Best of luck to this team. I hope they can do it. If it is the Outlaw Outerlimits, that is one bad ass boat.

Tomorrow? Is HB involved?

If it's tomorrow I can't be there.

[nowski]

The suspense has been killing me for the last several months...

[RogerThat99]

I think this one is the real deal...

They have been talking about doing it "in the next few weeks" for a couple of months now. They have never given a specific date. Jeff Murray (who is hauling the boat) said he is hauling the boat out, will put it in the water today at the Berkeley Marina, then drive the boat to the San Francisco Yacht Club, stay the night at the SF Yacht Club, and depart Wed morning. Jeff also made plans to have someone drive him back to Berkeley to get the truck.

Best Of Luck to them!!!

[RogerThat99]

They have cleared the Golden Gate Bridge and are on their way!!

[Eli]

Thank you for the information everyone. This will be fun to follow! I wish I could head to Long Beach right now!

[RogerThat99]

They appear to be sitting just outside the Golden Gate.

EDIT: They have cleared the bay and are in the Pacific under way.

[RPMRACING]

Yes, on their way! Good Luck Team Outlaw!!! Hope to see you for 1st record in Marina Del Rey!

Note:It looks like the boat is in the same position until the GPS system updates. Let's hope it goes smooth!!

Just passed Santa Cruz on the way to Monterey!!!

[GRADS]

Looks to me that they've been stopped for at least 15 minutes now.

[ChumpChange]

That's some long hours of concentration going on......

[RVR SWPR]

Same,seems stopped or no cell coverage

[RPMRACING]

No, still moving, just passing Monterey now!!

[RPMRACING]

Ok, I'll explain how it works: They (Team Outlaw) will establish both records under the Marani Trophy (SF to Los Angeles) and The Marani Bell (SF to Long Beach) if they complete both finish points. The current record (Bob Nordskog Powerboat Magazine Trophy) is held by Nigel Hook, Dan Macnamara, Johnny Lindstrom & Rique Ford his team in 48' Scarab this record was set in 6 hours and 43 minutes back in 2003. Team Outlaw is a Cat (50' Outerlimits) with twin gas powered big blocks so since Nigel's previous record was a V hull they are considered separate records. Hopefully all good - coming up on Pismo Beach!! Getting there!!

Lol I know. Wondering who.

[H2oSki2Fast]

Probably won't get another update till the make it to IPF, then another when they round Point Conception. Most likely too far offshore for cell triangulation.

[ptc]

Are we there yet???????????? (from the back seat)


lol


Didnt think 4 hours was even close to possible for any BOAT!....

[RVR SWPR]

Still north of Lompoc,unless lousy coverage

I think you're right.

Are you not supposed to be in Long Beach?

[HB Vic]

Maybe his phone died?28056

[HB Vic]

Sea tow is wet 28057

[ptc]

So by my calculations they have to make it to Marina Del Rey before 1:39 PST to break the current record of 5 hours:57 minutes - is that correct?

The Long Beach run is the second record they will try to break.... Sea Tow 1 is the final finish line not the first one.

Look like they are about 50 miles out of Marina Del Rey right now, but going slow

They better get with the throttles!!!!

[HB Vic]

Fuel stops don't count as far as I know. Found them. 28058

[ptc]

Ok so I read Rosses post about these are just setting the bar for a 50' Cat Record and they are not trying to break anybody elses record for the event. And because a different sponsor is putting up the money.... its also a different record.... do I have that straight now? So everyone can have a record.

Is that like all the fat kids get trophys too! ..... lol

[HB Vic]

. 28059

[ptc]

Well it looks like the SF to Marina Del Rey timing for any boat to get there still stands....

What are they doing paddling the boat????

[Bobby V]

Close but no cigar!!!! maybe next year.... The SF to Marina Del Rey record still stands.... unless.....


What are they doing paddling the boat????

Heard they had a problem with the new fuel tank. Might had to stop and fix it.

[HB Vic]

Almost to Malibu 28060

[RVR SWPR]

The 9 hours is Diesel Fuel,i think. or a greyhound bus.

Dont know the "Official Times" but they left SF at 7:42AM PST and arrived at Marina Del Rey about 3:17PM and Long Beach about 3:55PM

about 8 hrs 13 minutes ?

Didnt beat any existing records...

But is a "record" for a 50' Catamaran by the Marani Sponsorship organization.... so everybody wins!!!!!

Saw this on their FB page: #‎Outlaw‬ is now Marani Bell world record holders, San Francisco to Long beach 8:15:05.

[RPMRACING]

Whew, glad they finished!

Ok, so here's what happened. I left to head to Marina Del Rey when they were about the Channel Islands. Earlier in the run the boat had acted like it was out of fuel but turns out the brand new pump failed (tank transfer) and so they pulled off the fuel injection and pumped from one tank to the other to continue. About Malibu they experienced another fuel problem and after getting it fixed got underway and made it Marina Del Rey (they waived off that record in favor of SF to Long Beach) so they fueled in Marina Del Rey and then about 20 minutes later came storming through Queens gate and to the finish line at 8 hours 15 minutes 05:19 seconds. Yes, that beats the 9+ hours that Nigel and Team set with the Lucas Oil Ocean Cup so the Marani Bell is now the Cat Record holder but the Owner/Driver Bob Russell already plans to go back and beat his record. If they didn't have the stops they were going to be just over 6 hours by our calculations to Long Beach but alas that's racing. BTW, PTC, it's not my rules, it's the APBA/UIM rules that we play by. If one wants to try to beat it they can by going for either the Lucas Oil Ocean Cup in a V with diesels or the Marani Cup with a Cat with twin screws. It's all good and I'm happy that they made it safe and sound. All in all a very good day and the start of some good records to come.

Time out until I have time

[HB Vic]

Well seems I need to do an intervention on this thread. I could go in to a long diatribe of my opinion of Grads and how I truly believe he's harmless and just has a voracious appetite for attention (Grads FYI that's a nice way of calling you an attention whore). But I'm not going to do that this time. This time I think Grads is out of line.

Personally I see no reason for the negativity, comments, or jabs that were made. They do nothing constructive. They only ruffle feathers and cast shadows on someone's hard work and efforts to do something that no one else has done. So I've deleted all of them. I hate deleting shit, but if that's what I need to do make a point, then I will.

I'm not going to ban Grads, this time. But I am going to ask Grads to rethink his future comments. Especially when they do nothing constructive and appear only to be made to ruffle feathers.

As Ross said, unless you're out there in the water racing or running next to them, you don't have a leg to stand on.

X2 thank you

[GRADS]

No problem. Let me rephrase my original comment. I think a 30'-38' cat with triple outboards would be ideal for this run. A light boat that sips the gas and those outboards can run at full throttle all day long without even a hiccup.
