Hi Rolf,

back from Tornie Asia Pacifics, had a great sail skippering "Hartatack" in the invitation race. Breeze around 12 kts. flat water very cruisy, making a very gentle introduction to Tornie skippering for me. Dave owner of boat crewing makes it very easy for skipper taking mainsheet upwind etc. Decided skippering Tornie is very cushy job after sailing one up F16 <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Speed upwind and tension on 15 to 1 mainsheet was the eye opener, amazing how flat the mains get. We had a pretty good race although some time was lost with chute problems caused by brand new kite. But that is what invatation races are for <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />. Finished up around 14th I think, 2nd Aussies. Bundy and Ashby are sailing very fast, where out in lead all the and have won first 2 races.

Hope to sail one again one day. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
