If VX40's are anything near as difficult to steer as Afterburner...then it's easy to see why you have very few options when things go south.


'Burner is 52' long and much heavier than a vx40...but the blades are big. She steers a bit like a sow and takes a long time to respond...not like a beach cat at all.

Macca, why does the boat lose steerage in a bear away, are the rudders too short? Can they add longer rudders? Or is it something else?

In the bigger picture of world wide cat acceptance, I am glad to see these big cats racing like this, I wish we could get a fleet here in the States but I don't think the TP52 types want to get wet.
