Qatar is running t55-L-714's, Max Continuous HP is 4860, So 9720 total.. an even bigger $hitload..

If they can get the drivetrain to live, it's going to be insane. I just hope they don't kill them selves.

Well, that certainly changes things! I thought they were the same setup as MyWay also.
Bam is right, rafting up in the first half of the course is a good idea!

We hope to be on the line by 830am with the cruiser.

Skater at the docks by 930am for the opening ceremonies.

Sounds great. We had planned on about 9am to head over. Hope to get a good spot to watch the fun!

I did not know they had more HP, thought they had a chance with same HP. Now I really think there is a shot at breaking it. It will still have to be a near perfect run. I wish them luck, and hope nothing stupid happens.

Thus is the first year we rented a boat to join the front line party.

We've pulled onto the front line as late as 11:00 A.M. but by then it begins to get more difficult. I would say be in line no later than 10:00 A.M. if you want to be able to pick your position on the course on the front line.

Oh we will for sure be out there by then. I don't want to miss that chance to be up front for the action

Depending if you have a deck to stand on or if not, get rafted up next to a cruiser, the second line or some of the smaller tie-offs behind the front row are fine as well. Wind can play havoc though with secondary lines. The front row is always stable due to the sheer number of boats/anchors. First pic secondary line, second front row.

I rented a deck boat...nothing fancy but should have good standing room on it. 25' iirc. I will be tieing up with as many ropes as they give me though. I saw some boats moving last year when I was aboard that dinner cruiser boat.
