Hiya Eric,

It was awesome meeting you and yours at the Long Beach Mid's.
Your "Rube Goldberg" suggestions for the kite sheeting worked great and helped alot the second day (particularly that subtle suggestion that I turn the sheet ratchet block around which, as you theorized, did reduced the paralysis in my arms significantly...).The R.C. scored me with the "A" cats the first day ( we [ all others 20ft.,PN's < 60} caught the last third of 'em every race), and I sailed too poorly overall to make a fuss about the results...Really great regatta overall!

If you're not up to your elbows in detached retina's ; how 'bout the Camelia Cup Regatta the first weekend in April ??
I'll shoot you the NOR if you e-mail me (managed to empty my mailbox lost your address...)...

Warm Regards,

Paul Kilkenny
