I was informed it was quite calm?

[BREN]

Must be something to do with the hull design if it happens so often?

 

[BREN]

[Jon Fuller]

Na, there's loads'a very narrow race boats out there, I reckon it's a lot more involved than that.

i think it's time curtiss had a look and got it sorted

 

[Night Nurse]

I was there and saw it happen, the Honda but flipped over on the corner at the top on a wash with too much power on, they are both alright. Roy Smith flipped on over the bottom corner coming in happened quite fast, they are both fine Dave is a bit shaken as it was his first flip.
All fine and everything!

Are Stepped hulls dangerous??
The evidence above seems to indicate this...
