That's not the Stealth F16, that's a Stealth pre 'R' with a small main and a minuscule blade jib.

I don't believe anyone is racing a Stealth in this configuration anymore.

actually I think its more of a

faux pas

as REAL Stealth f16 ratings have dissapeared, the rating I quoted was listed against STEALTH F16 which definately aren't the listed dimensions nor rating

just me being mischievous again <img src="<>/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" /> forgot in a multinational forum my comments can be taken so literally

So, thats how the capitilist world works.

If the SCHRS wants to be at the forefront of sailing and part of the handicap system, then it is going to have to sharpen its thinking. SCHRS has got behind the loop and now its members will have to put in a few hours to correct this. Take good bold decisions now and you can then step back and enjoy the fruits of your labours, get it wrong and it will become yet another derided system.

Now I like its simplicity and openess as a handicap system, so I'm voting for you guys to get it right but please don't be wimps and let the heavy weight brigade protect their corner, yes by making constructive changes, you will upset some but in the long run, you will do us all a favour.

Oh and thanks and I do mean thanks, to all who are prepared to work on these type of issues, as without you, we would all not be able to race. <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

Wayne, you stepping up to Help?

Now Simon, you do know me better than to level that old chestnut. I can send references from other clubs and groups where I have more than

pulled my weight

.

As you already know, there already has been some dialogue going on between the SCHRS and myself, if they need further help, then they only have to ask.
