(See summary sheet)  Comment:  none of the drivers felt any safety issues with the high skylon.  We even tried to induce side roll by swinging the skier long line out to the side and having him hold on to try to induce some roll, but weren't able to induce any.  However, all of the drivers trying this were experienced drivers and this limited test was just that, a limited test.  It is the opinion of the towboat committee that the ABC follow the WBC on the use of the Super Fly High Skylon and not introduce this for tournament use yet until the WBC makes a decision.
