I believe they are "unlimited ultra lights". They announced the races were live on the Internet, but I couldn't find it when I got home. The helicopter "filming" the event looked straight out of some old Godzilla movie or the like. It almost looked like a toy in the air. I took a shot of it:

At least the helicopter was over the water, so if something did happen, you'd land in the "soft" water with all the rescue boats.
Speaking of rescue boats, below is a shot of one getting ready to toss a line to a stranded boat. PS: The finals are today. They are suppose to be broadcasting on the Web if anyone can find it... I didn't have any luck. |
