John,
If you want any questions answered about T4.9, Helen is a great resource. Her e-mail is ahpc@ahpc.com.au
She's the "voice" of the manufacturer, and probably one of the nicest, most helpful people you'll ever speak to. They're "out sailing" from Dec. 20-Jan. 13 to prep. for the T4.9 Nat's, but other than that, she almost always replies to even the most trivial questions.
Re. used boats: Rick's made it clear that he (quite rightly) wants no ad's unless the seller buys a spot, but if you e-mail me at fastcatmichael@hotmail.com , I'd be happy to tell you what I know.
You gonna be at Tradewinds? If I'm not teaching sailing that weekend, I'll be there, and you can take my boat for a drive.
See you at Tradewinds or at Spring Fever.

P.S.
I'm interested in the 3 races this summer in FWB - are they scored separate from the bouys races they're with? what's the story?
