Ya, been a rough year for hitting things.
I guess they have had some record rain fall and more logs then usually out floating around.
They say with boats the only way to survive a log hit is have a stout boat and be going slow. None of the boats in this race could be considered stout.
The boat I sailed across the Pacific was stout and then we layered Kevlar on the inside below the waterline with a flexible epoxy resin to form essential a bomb blanket. Made you sleep better at night but don’t know as it would do much. Water tight bulkheads and crash boxes in the ends are the only way to go with an offshore race boat.
