Got the chance to take a close look at Randy Reynold's newest R33...he brought it to Santa Barbara two weeks ago for the SB-King Harbor 80 miler race. He was tied up nearby my ride (Afterburner). Fit & finish looked quite good. A couple of things I didn't like were:
1. the high-mount middle cross beam, making for a bit of an obstacle moving to/from the foredeck. Closer inspection revealed why it was there...the dolphin striker can now site way up high, about where the tamp is...so wave drag is greatly reduced.
2. The boat has the hobie-style hull-deck joint with the over-hanging lip all around. Never liked these asthetically and they do add weight/drag. Corsair also makes the Farrier tris with this same construction method (original Farrier boats used a hull seem in the vertical plane).
The R33 is fast, esp. in turbo config with the light air we get often in Southern Cal.
Mike.
