First run on a Mad River Rocket sled on Essex Hill in Bangor, Maine. Check out the sled here http://amzn.to/2aGUQsb (affiliate link). I am not associated with Mad River, I just like their sleds which are wicked fast!

The Evinrude MFE (multi fuel engine) is one unusual outboard - it can run on everything from gasoline to Jack Daniels. It can be submerged, drained, and fired right up. And it's the choice of the Navy Seals, when it comes to outboard engines used for their landing craft. Want to learn more about the Evinrude MFE?

Rule 18 is quite complex with many factors which need to be taken into account to decide if a boat should get room at the mark or not. The first step is to understand the positions of the boat when the first boat hits the zone which is a circle 3 times the length of the first boat to reach the mark. In this video it was 108 feet as the J109 leading into the mark is 36 feet long. The A35 which was approaching from behind was going a lot faster and established an overlap shortly after they entered the zone, they tried to barge in but the skipper on the J109 new the rules and held firm forcing the the A35 to do a tack and a gybe to round the mark and avoid a collision. The knowing the rules and clearly signalling the opposition boat when you reach the zone is the only way to make it clear to your competitors that they have no room and they should keep clear.
