re: bobcat. he didn't bow out because of the breeze. I was on the beach early after i went over in a gust and broke my boom(again). Bob came in awhile later after he was hit by another F17 and bent his tiller crossbar. The wind was fantasitc saturday. I had my 8 yr old daughter as crew but the gusts at 20 kts proved to be more than we could handle. the good news is she loved the whole things and was laughing as we went over. I challenge anyone with their daughters to a race!!! i got an on the water challenge from Strategery to a race with his 9 yr old daughter. How about a daddy/daughter race???? name the place! We can call it the Hannah Montana regatta. if you don't know who Hannah is you probably don't have a daughter under 12! cheers
