I remember Laiths last offshore race in the USA.
He ran over an open cockpit 30 Sahdow Cat in key west (on the straightaway, infront of the outer mole)
One of the #6 drives on his 46 Skater took off one of the guys helmets & beat him up pretty good. They had to recesitate the guy in the seat of his sinking boat, 20' infront of the spectators.
VERY scary scene!
