Curious what that your post means they got too close. I was completely baffled why two boats go over like that. Please explain. Thanks.

The boats were so close to each other causing the air bleeding off the outside of each boats sponson to essentially be forced under the other boat causing even more air compression under each boat. Originally Posted by Brad Zastrow

It makes total sense. I was not aware that could happen in a cat. Thank you. Originally Posted by Lavey jr.
