They flipped, turned turtle and were mistaken for a great white.

the great white that is behind them grabbed the helm and swallowed him whole, the crew released the spinnaker pole dived at the shark prised his jaws open retrieved the helm and then they went on to win.

Helm" Hey this is bloomin ridiculous I can't believe this boat can't take a piffling 25 stone in the stern"
Crew " Shut up you fat t$%£%r I hear Merlins take a bit more weight , isn't there a red one for sail"
Helm "3408 I think , where's my cheque book"

Maybe it's not a great white but a white whale surfacing to survey its prey.

'I told you it would only need a 40hp outboard to plane.'

But why is the crew wearing a miner's helmet complete with light?

Perhaps he's a mine sweeper!

Someone told the crew that the Lark was the pits!

It's a classic image of our time...

Global warming - new species found in UK waters, Carcharodon carcharias (White Shark), devours evolutionary dead end unable to adapt to changing environment - the Lark....

Ok, we don't do that girlie roll tacking lark in this boat, we do the "spin" tack. Fat helm dives to stern raising 90% of boat out of water, welsh crew throws himself across. Fast, neat and safe. Try it sometime

I didn't think wing rudders were allowed on a Lark!  Judging from the photo, they're certainly not necessary...
