I’ll put my money down on them running their nifty black kevlar boat into a whaler, and blaming the Japanese for the collision and associated damage. The Earthracer requires tremendous amounts of repairs each year, and has failed to find any sponsors willing to pay the huge costs associated with maintaining the hull.
The real losers, of course, will be whatever fool company is underwriting the insurance on it, who is about to write a very big check.

FREEPERS are Psychic!
Thank you. Though generally it's common courtesy to ping who you quote. :) Didn't realize there was a new thread on the topic, but I think my ears were burning so decided to hunt. :) And all things considered, the Bob Barker was in a perfect position across the path of the Japanese ship, it was broad daylight - whereas the intention was to use the Ady Gil as a 'stealth' ship, even painting the hull a supposedly radar absorbing black, and it was during a time of relatively clear skies.
I'd like to have my winnings applied to the Freepathon, plz.
