I have spent two or three hours with him on the tele. Girlfriend is driving his decision on club and location. Also, he thinks that part of the bay is easier to get to than G'ville. I've invited him to the Invasion and the awards party; I'll forward you his contact info. He has talked with Roger and I directed him to You both, Keith and Todd and even Mark. My hope is that he will realize g'ville is closer time wise then combine that with other boats to race he may be converted after spending his summer in traffic getting to his boat. I'll forward you his contact info. I also plan to have him crew for me on a Tuesday night, just not the first one.

6.0 spinny stuff.
We had an earlier generation of worrell spin, it was big, but not the monster some refer to. By my calcs. it was around 425sf. We were learning the technique of spin handling on cats, so I don't really know it potential. However, the RacerX spin we had built was somewhere in the 380ish range and was/is fast. We frustrated a couple of our N20 guys by being faster and lower than them, when I had really good crew. It was not based on the NE spec, it maximized luff length, shortened foot and was flat but not N20 flat. Also the leach was shorter to allow rear beam sheeting and better visibility under it. It is snuffable. I have threatened to put the RacerX 6.0 spin on the N20. that has gone over as Todd might say a tird in the punch bowl.
