could someone please post the start times of each class and how they are staggered and also the boat number of each contestant so we can know who we’re looking at in the pics

Because that would mean the person with the most money wins. With a staggered start and the first over the line winning it pins the race result on driver skill. There are still class winners.

Yea, I do think the starting between the FB, D and C class need to be altered. I think the D class and FB class seem to have an advantage because there both fast classes that have 15 or 20min head start.

Its always a good race regardless of who wins and it’s bragging rights till next year for drivers and fans alike.

Huh..I was at RHADC and I saw a couple of boats go inside the yellow buoy at White’s. Couldn’t tell you which ones though.

lmao…you must have been the “race unoffical” …. Spotting the scandals. Sell your story to the royal gazette…..and call it “A Controversey Win”. I guess an old dog doesnt have new tricks, just the obvious….but Great Job Bobby & Chris.

Thanks guys! Still though, if the S-class boats leave after the others, which I am guessing is a considerable amount of time, isn’t that unfair to say who crosses first wins? Becuase if thats the case, then why would they even have the S-class boats in a timed event with the rest of them? Just doesn’t seem fair to those guys in the larger faster boats thats all.

Should attach plastic explosives to turtles, would add an element of interest.

From Past Expierence, When the waters are Rough, Usually the Bigger Boats Like S’ Class will cross the Line OVERALL FIRST because they can handle di chop. Vice Versa if it’s Calm. Years ago if you don’t remeber !! tha GREAT KIRK ROBERTS!! will have that SKATER !! “BULLET” Crossing the LINE FIRST on Many Occassioins !!

Checking with our sports guy, he explained that the larger boats, S class etc, go out after the smaller ones. The overall winner is who crosses the line first with the staggered start…

Refresh my memory please someone, if Ricky Sousa and Stephen Bridges clocked in at 34:26 and Stuart Durham and Henry Trott clocked in at 42.12 and Bobby DeCosta and Chris Wells clocked in at 46:29, how is it that Bobby DeCosta and Chris Wells are the champions??

Find me a turtle carcass and I’ll personally give you $100. How many turtles were killed during non-mariners? More boats are on the water for that event…

What happened at the yellow & red buoys at White’s Island? D13 went on the inside of both. I have pictures…
I guess that at least half went on the inside of one or the other, and some, D13 & D25 who was following them missed both markers. Shouldn’t they be disqualified?
A few boats nearly missed the red, like A98 & A1 , corrected in time & C50 who realized they missed the red, and circled back to go around it all losing valuable time…
