I was reading all these posts and thinking back to my first cat regatta, at which I had NO IDEA what I was doing. If it had not been for . . . Now I just have to convince the wife I need another toy!
Hey Tim: #1 Can I have yer F-16, or will you need it to sleep on the tramp when you ask the wife that one more toy story. . . . .
#2 Seriously I had the same thing. Showed up clueless at Spring Fever 11 years ago, missing a Forestay Chainplate for my H-16, Was gonna turn around and go home, Nigel took me to Alex who found me the part, That's why I'm still here . . . Kindness of a stranger welcoming a new guy to the sport, We all have to take that attitude to build it back.
