Default Buoys suck

Buoys Suck: Or somebody’s idea of a nightmare. Was out yesterday with the mono. Was running strong and fast. Tried my hand on the buoys from the sail boat guys course. Went well except for this one. Kept clipping it. Most of the time just brushing it on the side, except once. Kicked one of my rudders up to a 45 degree angle. (designed to do that). I just kept cutting it two close. Guess im not ready for prime time yet but ill get there. Lot of fun. Learned that the mono going full speed can take a full rudder turn and it only spins out in a very small circle but stays flat. (can you say Expo) next time out. Very happy with the WHH Magnum 57”

Wonder if the sail boat guys are going to be pissed that I cut their buoy in half. Woops

I have lost a race by hitting a bouy, not cutting it. It does suck... and my rudder was kicked up too.

With all the technology out there,you wonder why they don't develope holographic buoy images,beam them onto the water,with sensors aimed at the area a buoy "hit" could be detected and recorded automatically.
Could shoot the clock onto the water too.
