THE outerlimits that broke with dick and geene in it was broken before the race. It sustained damgae in practice. The boat was built with carbon deck and glass hull. The hull would flex but the deck would not.

Stupid question, but how come we never see video of the modern boats running fast in big water? Every time I am searching for rough water vids on youtube or OSO all I find are Apache vids. Is it a handling issue with modern boats? If you tried that in a twin step cig or a quad step OL would you find yourself upside down?
