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.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and smokin, shouting "Holy Shit ...What A Ride!"
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!!!

Where will they end in San Diego? Maybe I can take some pics.
Records are made to be broken I guess and hope all goes well for Jeff and the owner.Just not the same as when Bob Nordskog made their run.Standing up in a Cigarette,charts duct taped to the helm and hauling ass,incredible.
The boat is in the water and at the SF Yacht Club!! Lake PAL got to ride in the boat from Berkeley to SF Yacht Club and gave Jeff Murray a ride back to pick up the sport chassis. It's on in the morning. The will have live updates on their FB page: Outlaw Offshore Racing
