Well done, but
what really p..... me off, that these guys spend thousands of dollars to make a light raft and race but donˋt invest into their own safety, relying on others to take risks to save them if anything happens.
There is a lot of stuff swimming around in the sea, from logs to submerged containers. Hitting that stuff with a lightweight boat at high speeds will rupture the hull.
Wish, the racing organizer makes emergency flotation gear for these boats mandatory!
