Yeah - these guys and our news coverage iritate me. Where are the comments about their lack of concern not only for their own safety but for the rules and regulations on the water? If 370lbs could right a 6.0na four times in a day, 400+ should easily be capable on an 18 footer.

BTW...name your boat "Flippen Fearless" and you'll know what it means to capsize. For two years I had never capsized during a regatta and I have in nearly every one since naming my boat. Just this weekend...four times on Saturday before finally dropping out of the Myrtle Beach Cat Dash due to my crew being totally exausted (pack a day smoker! ). We weren't alone though...15 knots, 4-6' seas on a terribly overpowered 6.0na...adrenaline...(perhaps that's what I should rename the boat!).
