10' seas no way bro 4-6s with an eight or two thrown in MAYBE. BTW Gary your new boat is awesome! What power in it? I've been talking with Chris Mornes this week... really nice guy and he speaks highly of you. :)

@SKATER40SS What about your boat? Would you have done that race that day? What's the difference between a 39MTI and a 40Skater??
BTW they were running fine until they caught that one wave that all racers dread. Could have happened to you.

[@nikkoprell]

It is the 39 MTI.

[@JOSHSETAL]

that moment at 1:30 must have been scary

[@NautiGuard]

Is that the 39 or the 44 MTi??

[@highvelocity123]

That's some big water for a cat... I wish there was more footage, cause you know they got tossed. If I was in the Northsea I would much rather been in a 41 or 47 Apache, then I know I can make it.

1:30 = throttle back and hope the hull isnt cracked.

[@nikkoprell]

Dessvere men jeg er enig med deg men racet heter en gang Skagerak Across

[@thatwist]

Lykke til med de neste forsøkene.
Men det er Skagerrak og ikke Nordsjøen som krysses.. Skagerrak Across..... :)
