poster idea

I saw this and started thinking of Walt Whitman verse that could be applied as well... but as I perused his works I began to wonder if the man had been hit in the head one too many times during a gybe...

The boat in the picture is a Dart Hawk (F18) and if you are serious with your poster I idea, which heas merit, you may start by contacting them for the rights.

Wouter

how about the slogan I put on my boom last night....

"In order to determine whereabouts of the limit, it must be occasionally exceed"

whoops - that should have read...

"In order to determine whereabouts of the limit, it must be occasionally exceeded"

Don't just contact Dart.

It's already been made as a poster by RONSTAN, I have one in our store/workroom.

The caption is,

"This Ronstan hardware sure is light!"

I like yours better, jake. (After all, if your harness is on your back, you're trapping face down, right?) (The well known "face washing" stance)

How about plagiarizing from John Gillespie Magee Jr's famous poem "High Flight"?

"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered

wings;

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tum-

bling mirth

Of sun-split clouds-and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of-wheeled and

soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long delirious, burning blue

I've topped the windswept heights with

easy grace

Where never lark, or even eagle flew.

And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod

The high untresspassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of

God."

SSSSWWEEEEET.!!!!

Now who has the rights to this pic!?

Wow.

One heckovan evocative poem. How 'bout a minimalist aproach, using just two lines from the middle...

"... I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air... "

-- John Gillespie Magee Jr "High Flight"
