[quote]Dermot - any chance you could confirm the rumour that Wouter was helming the Spitfire? Sorry, I'll get my coat....

I have a lot of respect for Wouter because of all the work he has done for the F16 Class and the help he has given to beginners, who may never sail F16. He is always there trying to help. Sometimes I shrink away when he makes his blunt statements ( Sorry for talking about you like this Wouter).
As an amateur sailor, I have to respect Macca for his ability to sail well and win races, but, correct me if I am wrong, I haven't seen too many posts where Macca has rushed in to advise and help other sailors. So, Wouter gets my vote - Now I will go back to my corner and stay quiet for the next few months <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sorry Dermot; I was really trying to make a (humerous)comment on the rather surreal direction the thread had taken not having a dig at Wouter - who I imagine was having quite a laugh at events. Would tend to agree with your comment for what it's worth.
