Heat narrative: The Spinacher won the heat handily with their design modeled after a typical canoe. The flat, wide and streamlined boat was built for speed and glided across the pond barely making a splash or leaving a wake. The Bullship III made it with small structural damage but it was just too slow as the outriggers made of carpet tubes got in the way of the paddlers. Not So Navy capsized at the start.
