Hey Tim, Leave out the "great guy" stuff until we actually get you out sailing
I do think that it is amazing that you can fly in from Florida on Wednesday morning and (almost) be sailing with us in our Club race on Wed evening - we'll make it happen next time.
Wouter, Spitfire sailor, Stuart Gummer took 13th place in last years Round Texel even though he had shattered his boards crossing a shallow area. There were 4 Spitfires in the top 50. I think that the Spitfire sailors will probably want to hang on to their Texel number and try for high places. The 2 points between the Spitfire and F16 could make quite a difference to their results.
