F16 WC Trophy

Except there is no attachemnt !

Hi all,

Here is it than

Very nice trophy. I spent some time yesterday looking at the Zandvoort SC website, in particular the photos and results. Maybe a broken mast and snapped centreb'ds or rudders would be more appropriate!!! The waves on the beach look very nasty indeed <img src=

/> Also, 50% of the Cats which entered the REM race did so without Spi's. Is there something you're not telling us about the prevailing winds and conditions at Zandvoort?

Is that picture from the Netherlands? When did Connie Brown travel from California to Zandvoort? If I was to guess I would say the picture was from the Hobie Tiger worlds in Calif. some time back now.

Nice trophy! Obviously based on the Taipan hullform, but I'll not make an issue of that <img src=

/> I expect that it is an perpetual trophy which the winner keeps only until the next event?

10 out of 10 for observation Rolf. It's called Welsh humour mixed with a bit of Artistic Licence. But I think it does have a striking similarity of what I imagine the North Sea and particularly Zandvoort could get like on an ugly day.

Zandvoort is on a lake! Didnt they tell you that?

Here it is THEN!

Nice trophy. Someone has gone to a lot of effort.

And I thought the Atlantic was a pond!! <img src=

That was indeed a photo of the Tiger Worlds in California, but this is how the surf can look at Zandvoort.

Hans,

I must say that I really like our throphy; thank you for spending the effort to get it like that.

It is a work or art !

Jikes! I would not have gone out in those conditions. Surf is something we rarely launch in

up here

. Do you really go out with cats in surf like that?

You sometimes try, I did once, broken tramp, cracked rudder blade and a bent gudgeon.

Trophy looks fantastic! Well done.

And here a pic of the F16 cup inline :

P.S. you can see the reflection of the maker in the mainsail !

It is from the Great Texas 300 last year. That's the day Carl and I pitchpoled his I-20, totally shredding the spinnaker bag. Fun times.

Connie's got that days photos up at

We're the ones with the palm tree on the sail.
