Your right Dave,
How ungrateful of me, plus your a nice guy. I don't generally pick on nice guys.
I've got your back from now on.Scouts honor.
Tawd
p.s. Save me a spot next to the

spot

at Spring fever( you will be there,right?). I picked up a modern hippie van.
Cafe con leche will be the second drink of the day.

Anyone know if it will make it to production before the US event in September? Or the Worlds in July? Really nice lines...

John, what does

pro-wing

Tawd, I'll be at the spot, next to the spot, and I'll save you the spot beside it! Hope you can make Tommy Whiteside Regatta 2 weeks before SF. Ive got a room for you at the house,
david

I'll be guessing that they will be wanting to be having it fully developed, and at least all the pros sailing one by eurocat at the begining of May.

At quick glance it looks like someone has put a Hobie main on a Capricorn 🙂

Wild Cat...
I couldn't help but to spend about 10 seconds thinking of better names. I came up with roughly 200.

I like it a lot. Just have to get used to the helm, it's a bit more sensitive than I'm used to.

Compared to the old Tiger helm - yeah, it is much more twitchy.

I was talking about the difference between the old-style Tiger rudder system helm and that of a N20.
