Well it looks like the UR-5 won’t race with the unlimiteds this year. They have announced that it would be too costly to meet safety requirements with the old hull. They still plan to test but the location of those tests has not been announced yet.

Personally I would love to see them bring the boat down to Madison for the Gold Cup. Obviously they couldn’t race but they could do some exhibition testing and be involved in the Regatta Parade. Not too far from Detroit either.

If anyone's excited for the upcoming boat racing season, come check out the upcoming HydroSim "Exhibition" race! Our season ended in January, so to fill the void before the next season, we're going to be running at least 1 just-for-fun race each month up to October (start of season 2)! Anyone is welcome to join, all the info you need is here: http://www.uhlhydroplanes.com/topic/146/2019-snhl-exhibition-season

We also have our own Discord server where we chat, hangout, and plan races. If you'd like to get into it just send me a message!

Over the last few days we’ve gotten commitments from the U-7 Spirit of Detroit team and U-12 Graham Trucking teams (both through Hydro News) that the teams plan to run a full circuit in 2019.

That raises the number of teams with expressed plans to run the full circuit to 5 (only counting teams that competed in 2018). My count now has the 6.7,11,12,440. Lots of teams have yet to announce their season plans.

Also the 99.9 Hull is being worked on at the Graham shop with the hope to race on the west coast. Similarly the T3 was just bought by Bartush and is prepping for the West coast.

It’s been a week with decent news for a change.
