THE BEN HUR OPEN REGATTA
Take a step across the Line of Death. Race or die at the Ben Hur Open. 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 hull-borne homicide, watery wickedness, and peril galore. Kiss transom, sucker. Quiche-gobbling, chicken-necked pansies need not apply. This is a savage apocolypse, a brutal Darwinian selection of the King of the Cats. The watery arena of speed awaits.
RULES
1. All boats must have two hulls, at least at the start
2. No large calibre handguns
3. No flaming arrows
4. No sissies
'Speed provides the only one genuinely modern pleasure'
(Aldous Huxley)
