Take a step across the Line of Death. Race or die at the Ben Hur Performance Regatta. Winner takes the coveted Kaddafi Cup. Leave behind all notions of civilization and polite society. The laws of Canada and common sense are not applicable. This is a hull-borne homicide, watery wickedness, and peril galore. Kiss transom, sucker. This is a savage apocalypse, a brutal Darwinian selection of the King of the Cats. The watery arena of speed awaits.
RULES
All boats must have two hulls, at least at the start
No large calibre handguns
No flaming arrows
No sissles
"Speed provides the only one genuinly modern pleasure" Aldous Huxley
