Molokai Hoe coming up pretty soon. I remember a lot of chatter about making the race safer....prop cages on outboards and stern drives and delaying the first change out to over an hour so we can get more spread on the boats and hopefully reduce accidents. Did anything change or is it going to be status quo?

Should states continue to use traditional Koa canoes which vary in many designs, or convert to using a more modern canoe and use a single design such as a mirage or lightning as the designated racer like world sprints?
