I took photos of his boats because he is using longer/older boats, gearing up for the race. Here you'll see his brand new DragoRossi Critical Mass in the foreground (orange), right up against the Prijon Tornado.
Of course the Critical Mass turns much much easier than the Tornado, but has the benefit of some extra reach to get over some of those tricky spots. A balance of modern turnability with some older style length and speed. I am convinced that this is a trend for the near future as people realize that going fast in larger boats is really really fun.
p.s. the dog's name is Maya. she can swim rivers better than some people can paddle them
