Yes.... to the un-educated they are the same boat, have you seen both boats in the flesh????..... Geeezzz,,,,,,,, The red Bluebird up to is...
He sure did, with the best of British engineering of the day .....then Ken Warby built a boat in his backyard (on Campbells drinking budget )and...
Bluebird was an amazing boat in it's day, no doubt, I am sure the guy's with K777 knew how it would handle off plane, and in the transition phase...
Who said there was a Quantum leap in design.......... I would rather rather have a more proven, stable design, what lifts bluebird out of the...
Yeah Bluebird was an amazing design, ... good for 200-250 and for it's era, but that was it, real pig to get on the plan intakes get water in...

Yeah, they are to different animals, Sustained high speed, and flying kilo's is a different ball game, and environment as per drag cars and salt...
That's 100% correct and a flying km each way, the average is the speed for a record run
That's the one 13AL They are the world governing body for powerboating, like the F.I.A is for motorsport ( cars etc) the UIM is the sanctioning...

There is only ONE world governing body for REAL World water speed records that are done over a 2 way run on the kilo, that is the U.I.M ( which...
1/4 mile speeds is a very different deal to flying kilo's and sustained high speeds, People have paid with their lives finding that out, Dragboats...
I think there is a number of people capable of designing and building a wwsr boat, But how many people want to put their butt in the boat and...
I would hardly call Warby's deal a "Mega buck super team" the other 2 are dreamers/clowns, KW has a boat built ready to run, but why if there are...
