Unlimited hydros and Grand Prix boats have moved to fixed canopies with ingress and egress through a hatch in the top (a concept pioneered on the Crag Arfons water speed record boat). Drag boats have stayed with a hinged canopy. However, given a number of failures in drag boat capsules, I'm wondering if the time has come for drag boat racers to consider adopting a fixed canopy.
