Those kinds of boats were built to win the Tybee 500 and other big distance races.
When the Tybee decided that one design was the future of the race... those boats have no reason to be raced in the states.
A boat built for "line honors" .... presumes that you have some distance races that you want to go out and win.
If the big one is off the table... does winning the steeple chase merit buying a hot 20 footer.
Quick.... anyone remember the line honors winner from last years Statue Race?
