It's good to see the faces behind what happens out on the water.

Cheers.

2012 NAMBA FE Nat's T-Mono heat

Ken, Dave, Mark and Tyler. Mark succumbed to handling gremlins. Ken's monster just tore it up. Vid really doesn't show the huge size of these boats. They just tear big holes in the H20 .

A 2 boat race, that's for sure. The speed they're wringing out of those spec motors is insane!

[Derrick Davis]

Tony, ALL videos you posted were a treat for me to watch this evening! As someone else already touched on, it sure gives the average sport boater (like me) a good idea of what the REAL DEAL at competition level is all about. Thanks for posting!

I didn't even wait for the call, just brought it to shore. Bad move on my part, best just to own up to it and move on.

Kylie's a great kid (15 btw). I've got pictures of me holding her when she was 6 weeks old. She's a good racer now with the potential to be great. I'll keep her in boats as long as she wants to keep racing with us. A new outrigger is first on the list.

May I ask why this should not be talked about? (yes I have a copy of the original post) Sounds like there might be a lesson or two to be learned here especially when it comes to safety that might benefit all of us I would think. Not much sense in making the same mistakes because we don't share information and look out for each other, to me it's more of a brotherhood than a hobby...............
