Great pic for a few questions...
Is this boat wood or fiberglass?
Is the capsule designed to break away like ours are (dragboats).
I heard or read that if these landed upside down there is an onboard air bag system that will either right the boat or at least get the capsule above the water. Which I would think they would work great unless sponsons were damaged where airbags are.

Rampgirl,
This particular boat is made of wood. The capsules are Carbon Fiber / Kevlar. The inboard Hydroplane capsules do not break away like the drag boats, we are along for the ride! Most drivers are breathing from an on-board air system. There are no such airbag systems that I am aware of, however the capsules have a considerable amount of floatation foam in and around them to make them float as much as possible.
