[Richie Wohlers]

I've never been to Europe, but it's so hard for me to imagine 24' Halletts and people waterskiing at 80MPH in Belgium, England, Austria and the like.

[racektm]

I agree, but their using 21' boats! I was told that there were 4' to 6' seas when they called the last race. Can you imagine that in a 21' boat.

[Richie Wohlers]

Are they racing in the ocean?

I can imagine being scared $hitless!!!!!  I get freaked wih good ol 2 foot chop at the local lake in our 20".  No way that 4-6 foot seas could be fun in a 21'.

Way to go, Lacey, Mallory and Erin.

Are they racing in the ocean?

Yes they are
Venue: Hunstanton, Norfolk, Great Britain

[Danny L]

I don't like cold water and sure don't care for swimming where man is not supposed to go.

Great to see them do well though!!!
