JAE .45G - 2011 edition


The J.A.E. Racing gang have just released the new 2011 edition of their JAE .45G outrigger!

JAE .45G 2011 spec:
  • The tub is shorter, narrower, higher above the water and with a updated lower side profile.
  • The after-plane is shorter (T.E. of ski vs T.E. of front sponson ride pads).
  • The rear ski is wider (1.43" now vs 1-3/16"" earlier).
  • The front sponson ride pads have less AoA (now aprox 4.4 deg).
  • The front sponsons upper deck has more negative AoA.
  • The front sponsons are longer (especially towards the rear).
Here you can find some info about the first JAE .45HG version.

As usual, save the pdf's on your favorite storage media (like an USB stick) and go to a printshop (Kinkos or reprographic print shop etc) and have them print the pdfs in 1:1 scale on 30" x 42" paper.

Go fast - turn right! :)

Here is a new comparison picture with the two JAE .45 riggers on top of each other. They are aligned from the trailing edge of the ski as its the rear most contact point of the boat.
  • The new 2011 JAE .45G is the black one.
  • The earlier JAE .45HG is the blue one.

TecnoPower M02 .21 "Power Head" Engine 21US


"This is the 1st edition of the TecnoPower "Just Better" marine range of competition engines. An engine for proven winners, including the experience of 3 world championship titles inside! The M02 - Powerhead Engine 21US version could be considered one of the better .21 Marine engines.

This TecnoPower M02-21US engine is an almost "bolt-on" version for the Lawless and K&B outboard drives already on the market. On this "M02" model we deliberately did not include our own carburetor, this to make the engine as universal as possible. Compatible carburetors with a 15 mm neck can be used on our engine."

More info, text and pics later during the weekend... / Niklas


TecnoPower M01 .21 "Power Head" Engine 21XM

"This is the 1st edition of the TecnoPower "Just Better" marine range of competition engines. An engine for proven winners, including the experience of 3 world championship titles inside! The M01 - Powerhead Engine 21XM version could be considered one of the better .21 Marine engines.

This TecnoPower M01-21XM engine is an almost "bolt-on" version for the O.S. Max 21XM outboard drive using the same outboard drive and also the O.S. carburetor this to make the switch as easy as possible.

On this "M01" model we deliberately did not include our own carburetor, this to make the engine as universal as possible. Compatible carburetors with a 15 mm neck can be used on our engine."
