The Willard Marine 43 Assault was developed for military use from a Scarab offshore racing design and can achieve speeds over 60 knots. The 43 ft. (13m) high speed craft was initially prototyped in response to a request by the U.S. Navy for a high-speed combat mission boat. The U.S. took on all challengers to retain the Americas Cup as AC72 sailing boats hit speeds over 40 knots in San Francisco Bay. Story starts on page 46.
