If there are three wise men to be found among the legions of International 110 sailors of the far East (or mid-West), let them follow that shiny green glow in the sky to Inverness, California, for surely a boat has been born this day surpassing all such craft yet built. There's no place for hyperbole in a reputable journal such as this, so you know I'm not lying here. Quickly now, put on your Sunday best, grab the next flight out, and better double up on that underwear too, because you are going to be thunderstruck when your eyes first gaze upon the King of All One-Tens.

The sages have been waiting for the arrival of this Mud-cutting Messiah for two racing seasons or so, and finally it has come, exceeding all expectations. It seems like years ago since Dudley Miller picked up hull #331 and gave boatsmith Jeremy Fisher-Smith a mission: make it shine so bright, it will burn out the corneas of the unbelievers. Once that was accomplished, the vessel was turned over to legendary rigger Scott Easom to be decorated in gold, silver, carbon fiber, and priceless jewels (the jib furler has a 12-jewel movement, I hear).

The re-born 1946 classic was just launched at the start of this new year, after a long seclusion in the inner sanctum of Easom's Sausalito temple, and the results are beyond fabulous. The sensation this remarkable craft has caused in the IYC yard cannot be underestimated. More people have been peeking under her covers these weeks than Lindsay Lohan's (bam!).

This thing has every go-fast, look-good, and holy-crap you have ever seen, and some you could never imagine. When you come to worship this inspirational phenomenon, expect to see these marvels:

• Total perfection in fairing on all surfaces, polished like a mirror.
• Pristine oak coamings, floorboards, and splashboard.
• Custom carbon fiber rub rails.
• Streamlined carbon fiber rigid barber haulers.
• Carbon fiber barney post.
• All lines exit the coamings to be collected in strategically placed sheet bags.
• Carbon fiber tiller clamp and delrin rudder bearings.
• Forward-sloped shroud tracks for that fall-on-your face feeling going downhill.
• Carbon fiber and precious-metal embedded seat pads, possibly heated by nuclear fusion.
• Carbon fiber no-jib-shroud-catch-tubing.
• Precision hardware throughout, fashioned from the more stable isotopes of Unobtanium and Upsidasium.
• And much, much more, all carbon I'm sure, but I was afraid to look.
