Thanks guys,

As I said I was VERY impressed ... I had only seen my friend's boats on the beach ... to see them just scooting down wind slicing through the H16 fleet leaving a cloud of spray behind was just AWESOME!!!!

My friends on the Chesapeake Bay have both Taipans and Blades. They have committed to come to the YC I'm a member at for our Rock Hall YC "Annual One-Design Regetta" on June 21st and 22nd ... I think I'll have to arrange to borrow a F16 for a ride (I wonder what my bar tab will be for these favors!!!) I can see why my friends just LOVE their new boats!!! I'll start getting $$$$'s together. I'm a fairly decent wood worker, but my friend Glenn is an EXCEPTIONAL wood worker ... maybe I can convince him to build one also!!!

Question: Do we HAVE to paint it YELLOW like Wouter's ???!!!!

Thanks for helping me get started ... I just need to convince the family I need a THIRD boat!!!
