Forgive my ignorance....

That water looks a bit shallow for high speed ribbing doesn't it?

[The Jackeens]

I think they might be beach recovering so they drive em up the sand first

probably wrong

[Manos]

No U R right Jakeen

They do actually race in the surf..sounds a bit hairy to me.

Chris, if is the same situation as it is in Santorini where in some cases depths are is 1.5 mtrs just as you step in is OK.
However, it seems that all boats going fast and they have suffered no damage on props during the race so it must be deep.

PS did u get my mail?

[Manos]

Going back to the shallow water question. Here are some photos from the 2002 races

Nice pics but nothing yet on the build photo from Falcon!

[Jonny Fuller]

They must have a bloody thick bottom on em if that's their normal way of recovering, ie, driving em up a 100 foot long sheet of sand paper!

No prop damage?????

One of those pictures shows the engine shooting sand and the prop buried below the sand.
The other shows them accelerating through ancle deep water on their way out????
