That photo has been doctored. It was from the Worrell (sp)race one year. Mast was broken, but the wave was made to look REAL big here. They lost a lot of boats that year. BUT it still would have scared the crap out on me. Big waves and cats are not fun!!

I don't know the exact year but Andrew Tatton told me it was the year all the boats where torn up in the surf. The had to cancel one of the starts and trailer the boats left to the next start. Ask Rick he will know. The photo has been changed to make it look at lot worse. But even small scale, it would have scared the carp out of me.

To me, that is just a typical-looking Worrell 1000 picture of a cat coming in through big surf to the finish line at the beach. We have lots of pictures that look like that. And I'm sure the other photographers do, too, over several years. I doubt if it was a picture from the "big devastation." The year all the boats were torn up in the surf was 2001, when they were on Leg 3, trying to LEAVE Jensen Beach and get out through the surf to get to Cocoa Beach. Only five boats made it out through the surf and many of the rest ended up in pieces on the beach. | | |
