I am all for rough water, 4-6 is good. But as Smitty said the OSS courses with the road course feel are alot of fun, the course in Arkansas as a blast.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Offshore has three principal meanings:

Physical - in the sea away from the shore; not on the shoreline but out to sea.

Offshore Industry - Industry related to equipment for offshore oil and gas
Financial - a relative term generally applied to low tax jurisdictions on "off-shore" islands -

The little yellow boat loves Big A.... Water.

Im all for rough water,
In my eys going back to being a kid and seeing it on tv, theres 5 distinct traits that were needed
1. reading the waves and steering the boat
2. trimming the boat
3.throtteling the boat
4. navigation
5. Being able to keep it in one piece and running.

Personally, I like #5. to finish first, you must first finish. All 5 things take a fair amount of talent to sucessfully pull off, but #5 requires that you take everything you know and apply it at the same time (and a little luck). if you reall just want to go in a big oval, with as much hull aeration as possible, over flat water at insane speeds...try unltd hydroplane racing. offshore boats have deep vee's to bust waves (even the cats are suppsed to bust waves) whats the sense of having a vee if your not going to use it?? when the sport started it was about enudrance as much as a fast motor, or good hull design. well were down to two outta 3...guess that aint bad.. just my 2 cents

Watch or race in Key West and you can see how many lead changes take place during a race with the diffrent water conditions. This was Key West last year, dead flat! it sucked grass.

BANG!!!
On Saturday, the waters were typical Puerto Rico rough. Racers in the OSS Cat Outboard and OSS Vee Lite classes were faced with 20 knot winds, 6 to 8 foot seas on the outside leg, and plenty of drama. Rumor has it that the water was so big that some of the Vee Lite guys were rallying to not race and to draw cards instead to see who the winner was. Among those racers were not the guys in the AMF Team Lavey boat who were ready to show their Pacific Ocean stuff in Puerto Rico. When the green flag dropped, Kevin and Brian checked out and never looked back. At the end of the only four laps of the storm shortened race, the Lavey Craft (the smallest boat in the fleet) was 3 minutes and 29 seconds ahead of second place. To the Lavey Craft gang, it was just like another day at Dana Point or Ventura California.
