How big of a boat was the beak? That OL is sick looking. The race today at LOTO was good, I thought for sure the beak had him, because he jumped out. Some ones sand bagging LOL

So that they are easier to spot on the race course was what I was told.

GPS wasn't working right but it was 100+ for sure.

I was told that in case a canopy boat flips or rolls, it would help the Rescue divers to locate, depending on water clarity. I was also told that this was a safety rule with boats racing over seas. I noticed Miss Geico has one and the JD BYRIDER's sponsored SLV boat has one.
