2018 Hatteras Cup Winners
During the show, the CABO 41 (shown above) was launched at a press conference. The team from Volvo Penta also was on hand to help celebrate the fact that this
marks the first time a Hatteras/CABO yacht is Volvo-powered. The CABO 41 features twin
725-hp Volvo D11 inboard diesels, and other Volvo engine options are available.
An elaborate ice sculpture welcomed the winners of the 2018 Hatteras Cup to the Hatteras
display. While no one took home the million-dollar prize for a World Record Atlantic Blue
Marlin this year, there was heavy competition in the other Hatteras Cup categories, with 245
anglers and 51 teams entering 247 catches overall.
