Hi Dirk

The Project with my wider beams has died. The reason why, is that the 18HT class in Switzerland and in Italy, really took off.
Plus 30 Boats sold only in this year here in Alinghi-Land. Not all of them are racing, but at the next regatta we expect 20 18HT boats!

Also in Germany, Niels Bunkenburg has designed a new boat for Eagle-Catamarans.
I think that Heiner from Eagle-Cat has already sold plus minus 10 Boats.

My old Ventilo was slow, compared with the Javelin.
Bu the new Ventilo 18HT looks very promising and is designed from Martin Fischer.

Texel ambitions? Of course! We were there this year and will be there next year! Just to much fun!
But I have to admit we didn't made it around the island this year.
We were there a whole week and sailed the Dutch open. On the race day, the surf was to bad for us.
After a first attempt, getting through the surf, we returned to the beach.

Polen? well allmost.....
the guys west of zurich think that everything east of them, is russian related.
