Found this vid - full speed, spin up right into a rock shoal.

Says it is a min weight F16... Would not want to have that collision on another boat, i have seen a lot of boats ripped wide open with a lot less. They raced back the next day in mid to high 20's, so i guess it was all good less a couple of inches off the daggers and a few scratches.

That is Hirams Haul! It's a little 25 mile race we have every fall on the central east coast of Floirda, US.

It's typically on Halloween weekend.

Welcome to Daytona. It will be nice having another boat on the beach.

They have a few multis along with the monos. You are sailing on the river not the ocean but a great value for 100 bucks.

How long will you be at Riddle, and are you going for Aero Engineering or flying, or something else?

I thought it was a sand bar, not a rock shoal...? Looks like mud stuck to the daggerboard.

It was coquina. The fort at St Augustine is made of coquina so it could hardly be called sand, but it certainly isn't like the boat hit granite.

I'll be at riddle for 4 or 5 years. I'll be majoring in aeronautical science with a concentration in commercial aviation.

Well Good Luck, and in case you are not aware, they have an Acro team with a Pitts S2;(not this one, but just like it):

You should see if you can get some time in that, although I'm sure it's not cheap. They bring it down to Sebring for the IAC contests in April and Nov.

Let me know if you'll be in town with them, I can get you out on the lake here for some sailing, if there's any wind.

Yea I've seen the Pitts it's crazy! I hope our cross counties come over your way. I'm not sure but I think most go to MLB/GNV/PIE.

Well just fly to SEF and tell them you 'got lost'! Just be sure to stay out of the Avon Park bombing range MOA when it's hot. MIA Center usually knows when it's in operation.

Sebring has a pretty good restaurant and cheap(er) gas than most places, so maybe you can convince your IP to take a look at SEF.
