We did hit a carp once in Flying Tadpole II during a race.
Normally, you see all these finny backs rising out of the water
but they sink just before the boat gets to them. This one got
hit by our dagger board. Big enough to make the boat jolt.

Incidentally, i did find new shoals appearing (or old ones
extending) last weekend. I wasn't violently happy about it....

I hit a guy in a lifejacket!


Well, there, you see? Proves a point. if he'd been safely
tethered to his boat, he would have been well below your keel at
the time and would not been at any risk of being run down by you.

I think the best I ever saw was a friend's Mirror run down and
over the top of a learning sailboarder....
