Also just heard XCAT cancelled the would be first U.S event.

damn close call

I have a question. I know most of the canopied cats have an escape hatch through the floor but what about the canopied V-hulls? If the canopied v-hull flips how are you supposed to get out?

I would assume so? Otherwise, there would be no way out. I know this OL has twin escape hatches, just don't know exactly where they are located.

Looked like the guy was trying to release his seat belt before the boat was even completely upside down
