Welcome John,

That is some good looking pics you have there: I wish somebody with a camera was around when I did my first sails. I like that pic with the orange spinnaker.

One more comment, as we communicated in private somewhat already, when you are trimming and tunig the boat out tell us here at the forum we can probably learn alot from eachother. Just today I sailed on a Stealth F16 and we learned to listen to the boat some more and do this and that a little differently and most of it worked. We are now racing in a rather big and skilled fleet of 25 F18's, 8 F20's 2 A-cats and 2 FX-ones. Believe me, in this fleet you know if something works or not. I see you are an old Tornado sailors so I expect a few "discoveries" from your end as well.

Good luck and best of times with your new boat !

Wouter
