This is not a high speed spin out, nor tripping a chine, this is a feat that has been repeated several times on the TS verified by other videos out there. This is a bit different of a scenario than most stepped V’s whereby these boats appears to have to high of a VCG combined with a forward LCG making for a inherit design problem.

I agree, it was a beautiful boat but I don’t think these boats are not meant for the average boater, rather they need someone that has been schooled on how these boats behave and how to attach the lanyard tether to themselves.

This hull is prone to that from day one. Stinson?????? From what I remember, this is hull number 2. Later in the season they went for a swim as the boat went over and they ended up in the engine compartment upside down. Jeffrey (OSO originator) later boat the boat and had it all re-rigged since it had partially sunk.

Thanks, that is exactly what my point is. This hull design is not for everyone.

Didn't stinson and Simon spill one in St. Pete?

After this boat is fixed and sold on Ebay the appropriate name should be: "Pitch, Rock and Roll"
