Do the writers know how to write English or is this just some palempsest like project (new window) made by monkeys that only know how to copy and past and thus the whole article consists of multiple ways to reword a very small amount of info.

Below is the whole article with all of its redundancies. Maybe some decent editor could refine this into two or 3 short sentences.

Australian water ski club, Horsehead Ski Club, have broken the world record of the highest number of skiers behind a single boat.

To ensure the waters on Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, were calm enough for the record to take place, it was an early start at 7:20am. Of the 154 skiers who started out, nine fell off, which meant at the finish 145 remaining skiers broke the record, which beats the record set two years ago at 114.

Starting at 7:20am to get the calm waters in Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania, the original 154 skiers fell to 145, breaking their previous record of 114.

A vessel which had enough power to tow all 154 skiers wouldn't have been easy to find, but after a propeller change, the ferry Tasmania Eagle, was able to do the job.
