I don't know what race some of you were in, but I assure you seas were every bit of 6-8 feet. It was a very rough race. Lots of broken boats.

wow!
Looking at the water in posts 1 & 3 the waves look to be about 3ft or less.

More race photos at www.njsportpics.com look under recent events, then Jenkinsons, then P4 class.

"if it were a foam cored or balsa cored hull there would be three funerals to attend"...i don't think so tim!
"one of the best built boats out there,it is a plywood core"...are you sure you want to combine those two statements!?
sorry, there is something way wrong with a boat coming apart like this averaging 60mph lap speeds. NOT to say anyone could have foreseen this.
GREAT to see everyone is OK!!!!
