The sport goes on
This is what it looked like years ago - without all the safety gear and longer ropes! Checkmates were very common and very fast. I don't know why people want to put windshields on these boats, ruins the styling and really does nothing about the wind. This one is a bit over the top, supposedly does 80 (hopefully right side up). There was a guy in his 50's back in the day who cruised all the time in his red one of these with his bleached blond wife at his side. Lake legend was he rolled it and landed upright with her falling out unhurt (who knows?). There was a red one with black seats with a 135 for years on Pine Island, supposedly a 65-70 mph boat. A Bruins player had one of these in his driveway that I'd walk by on my way to school. I'd have to stop and take a look many times.
