Speedboat crashes onto OCMD beach
The (Salisbury, Md.) Daily Times
Posted Monday, June 18, 2007 at 8:07 am
OCEAN CITY, Md. — A speedboat taking part in the offshore powerboat races Sunday in Ocean City veered off course and slammed onto the beach in the area of 17th Street.
No one was injured in the incident that happened at around 3 p.m., police said.
Police said the 42-foot Wicked was severely damaged and stuck on the beach.
They said a crane called in to remove the boat got stuck in the sand, so a second crane was called in.
The boat was, however, reported to be still on the beach late Sunday night.

I thought it was brought to shore due to damage caused while on the course....Guess the idea of a powerboat slamming into a public beach is more interesting than the truth...
