Is it a handling issue with modern boats? If you tried that in a twin step cig or a quad step OL would you find yourself upside down?

+1. Great question. It also seems like the racing today is in areas with flatter water than it used to be. Those old vids show long straight runs in huge water. Now it seems the straightaway is for a short time, then they slow down for a turn.

Another problem is allot of the old videos are from races running true offshore and the cool videos from back in that day had allot of Apaches dominating the big water

There are very few TRUE offshore races anymore that are covered with major video and commentary thus hard to find the great footage like we used to see There is still some recent cool stuff out there but you have to dig deep and usually does not have good commentary to go with it

BRING BACK OFFSHORE and BRING BACK RICH LUHRS

Nothing like back in the day Racing

Running with Pat makes the waves look small. I been out there with him in 6-8', 3-5', and 4-6 and all variations of sun and storm (call me the crazy canuck). When I come down for boating, we go boating. Go Active Thunder !
