Stuffed it by Mike Kanssen, on Flickr
IIRC he lost at least 2 places because of it, but he was luckier than one of the other competitors at the same meeting who sadly died - from what I gather was a similar incident (no other craft involved). Offshore power boat racing never came back to Harwich.

There is a whole Facebook group dedicated to identifying odd cookie cutters.  You'd think it would be easy to work out what shape a cookie cutter is supposed to create.  Evidently not.

Somewhere I have a similar shot taken in Malta, an entire display of Maltese Cross cookie cutters, those would be easy to identify.

I have not found the one I was looking for but I did find this on a USB stick.
