Default "Under-Tested"

Other views back at the marina:




It was "Temporary Insanity's" skipper who claimed a 25-MPH impact speed. "Build-Team" attempted to refute that.

The "Discovery Community" website isn't happy with this test, either: "Bad, Build-Team, BAD!"

"They have also excluded loading.
No motor, no gear, no passengers...
all the factors that would serve to drive the boat onto the post were omitted from the test.

I also disagree with their estimate of the impact point.
It's almost dead on the nose and not from the side.

Once again, the Build Team over simplifies and under tests."
