Looks great! I brightened your photo a bit to bring out the details.

Did you see the tuning guide that is available on this website http://www.catsailor.com/bestof_articles/Art_TuningNacra.html
or at http://www.home.zonnet.nl/held20/NA60tune.htm
Good luck with the new ride,

Kieth!! You raskal. You kept the fleet in the dark on this one, as evidenced by the clandestine photo. Come on now tell us what brought this about. Here are my guesses on what happened.

1) Your lovely wife got bonked on the head and you took advantage of a temporary delireum.

2) You are really THAT sceered of the A Cats. Ha Ha

3) Uncle Vennie passed on and left you a bundle.

4) You are coveting thy neighbors boats.

Gary - It's '99 NA, stock! No spin yet. Yet.

Jack - Thanks on the pic and tuning guides!

Crewdog - Good theories! Here's the answers:

1) I actually convinced her that selling my 18 and 20 will give me the cash. Now I just need to sell the 20... For a brief moment by boat count was actually going down.

2) I AM that sceered of the A-Cats! I needed something faster. Failing that, I needed something that could crush them flat, and I already sold the 18.

3) Uncle Vennie has proven to be more of a tough old badger than I previously thought. Efforts to acquire his fortune through "natural means" have not been successful - quite the contrary, the things that have not killed him have made him stronger. Rats.

4) Arrgh, matey, they'll soon be coveting my boat!

Basically one of those fortune things - I had sold the 18 and was planning what to do with the money as applied to the 20. Then I thought, gosh if I sell the 20 and pool the money I can upgrade. Just then somebody forwarded the listing to post on our Fleet website. It never got posted... Just picked it up Sunday evening.

Won't rule it out, but I'll be helping prep for our Icebreaker Race the following weekend. Come on up for that!

Jake: It looks like we will be racing together in the "only one showed up" class along with WF (18HT), Scott on the 18sq, Tom on the 5.8 and an Isotope that just showed up. Jeeez, even the H-14s and N5.5s have more than one boat!
