Thanks for all the great advice, guys!

<br>I'll try to think of a number. I was thinking along the lines of 314159 or something like that but I have to admit something with less digits sure has some appeal. Maybe 123, what the heck. My wife suggested 2500 (since that's what I paid for the rig back in June!) Being a programmer, maybe something like 10101 or some combination of 0's and 1's might be appropo too.

<br>Took the H16 out to our club's Wednesday night races last night ... OK, I will semi-seriously think about more racing in the future after all! What a blast! Unfortunately there are not a lot of multihulls in my club so I was the only multihull out there last night, so it was a bit like, um, shooting fish in a barrel. I've never looked BACK 500m at the fleet before! The open class start was really only a contest between three boats, my H16, a 29er, and (really surprising) a really well sailed Wayfarer. The 29er being a new technical boat was the only serious competition for the H16 and it overtook the H16 on the downwind leg with its spin up, but what surprised me was that I pointed that H16 way better on the upwind legs and actually crossed the finish line first. First time ever I've done this (in the Fireball fleet I was usually happy not to finish last -- my Fireball is 30 years old and so are its sails). But the whole sad point of this happy H16 racing tale is that the race committee didn't log my finish because they thought I was not part of the club, not having recognized me since there were no sail numbers to identify the boat. So, must get some numbers up there and that darn RC logging these finishes properly!<br><br>
