I have now witnessed two threads on SA regarding folks who want to purchase beach cats for this race.

First thread asking about a TheMightyHobie18.
Second thread asking about a Boston Whaler Super Cat 19.

IMO both boats are clunkers, meaning they can work but how efficiently and open ocean seaworthy are they?

I hope the organizers and racers and "wannabee racers" understand the risks in this crossing. I also hope they are informing the Coast Guard about this particular race.

And I am posting this because if you think about it, two folks have posted openly about buying boats for this particular race. Think about all those who have not posted openly wanting to purchase boats for this event.

That race is gonna be scary...
