480 So.2d 669 (1985)

NORTH AMERICAN CATAMARAN RACING ASSOCIATION, INC. (NACRA), Appellant, v. John McCOLLISTER, As Personal Representative of the Estate of Christine Wapniarski, Deceased, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Rehearing Denied January 7, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Raymond A. Haas and Delia Rose of Haas, Boehm, Brown, Rigdon, Seacrest & Fischer, P.A., Daytona Beach, for appellant.

Frederick S. Jaeger, Jr. of Robinson & Jaeger, Daytona Beach, for appellee.
