The carnage was just terrible to watch. I think it was a Hobie 18 that took out the front of Roys Mozzie which being two feet further down the beach then my boat took the full brunt of a heavy solid catamaran being washed sideways up the beach. I wonder what kind of sailor parks there boat sideways onto the waves in front of boats which are obviously still being hit by waves when there is kilometres of vacant beach either side. Guess he was "having a Hobie Day" as there advertising promotes.

I thought the course was bit different too but, apart from the beach break, you couldn't get a more perfect day for sailing the Rum race.
