This may be a stupid question but what is the difference in these two classes, the saw records are like 24mph apart?

offshore uses a different style course if i remember correctly....ive also seen cats being used in offshore...saleens7, the wookie of rc boating -
p-mono does not allow stepped hulls, oval course. steps and flat keel ride pads are allowed on the offshore boats, heats are 4minutes. section 28 page 7 is where the offshore rules start (namba rulebook). hth

The offshore records were all set with catamarans, which are considerably faster than monos for a number of reasons. Making a mono go really fast is far more difficult, even with three times the power of a cat. A stepped mono can be faster and more stable than a non-stepped mono, but steps are not allowed in the mono classes.This may be a stupid question but what is the difference in these two classes, the saw records are like 24mph apart?

Got it, I knew cats were faster, but I never thought by that much!Comment

Are there any classes were a stepped mono is allowed.Comment

by definition a 'stepped' mono(meaning a vee hull) is a hydro...soo you could run it as a hydro in the hydro classes :). you can also run a stepped vee in the offshore class.Still waiting for my boat to come in.it came inComment

I would think the main advantage would be stability. balancing a vee hull on a 1/2"(or less) strip of hull can be a challenge :).Still waiting for my boat to come in.it came inComment

thats because your hydros are slow and your monos are fast.
