Steve, sorry to hear about the situation down there but at least you were man enough to tell us, good on you. Bad on the guy who rammed you from behind. Did he get tossed? I know I've been frustrated enough to do some stupid things sometimes, I just can't afford to rebuild my boat! But I might have been tempted to remove HIS bows with my daggerboard! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
