Next generation carbon fiber Antrim 27 sportboat
Next generation carbon fiber Antrim 27 sportboat
Buzz Blackett and Jim Antrim wanted a smaller, and more nimble boat to compliment California Condor, Buzz's Class 40 that Jim designed for him. So Jim went back to the 90's for a new and improved Antrim 27 this time built out of all carbon. The boat was questionable about being ready in time for the Three Bridge Fiasco, but they made it to the starting line. There was only one right way to go this year, and Io chose the right direction, straight to Red Rock. Quite a maiden voyage!
Here's a look at some of the details of this new hot rod.
