....is that 3 people I see on board?



(wouter) Yes.



.....there seems to be a driver, one on trap,..and one ( in green) walking up the tramp at midline......yes?



(wouter) I think these boats are sailed like large skiffs. A skipper holding the helm and doing tactics, sweethand doing the mainsheet and looking for puffs and lulls, and forward hand doing the jib and spi and looking for the markers.



From my memory the boats are double trapeze and the skipper often sits down on the wing.





...25 foot cat,.....definately yes........where can we get a ride on these...?





(wouter) Yes , but you must be invited to do so. Make a mark in any sailing discipline and you'll be invited although only the really great are actually invited.





...from the race results,...I see Randy was just 'getting dialed in'.......another few races would have had interesting results.......



(wouter) On the other hand Loick Peyron was dialed in from the beginning and had a lead of no less than 27 points which is halve of the 43 points that was scored by Randy in 9 races. Maybe the "few" should read "quite a few"



Happy sailing Bruce !
