Thank you Dermot,

Also, a class doesn't loose it OD status when it races outside of its OD class once in a while. If you guys can do Texel and not loose your OD status than you can do the same with respect to F16's. All in good fun.

Although I won't be too disappointed if you stay away just a little longer. Some of those Spitfire crews are awfully good sailors and will kill most of us in any direct racing. At the DCC we had some secret wapons of our own so we could risk it, but they have gone home now, now it is only us newbies !

Good luck Dermot !
