Dear oh dear.....

The Cat really is in amongst the pigeons isn't it?

I almost wish I'd kept my comments to myself (but that wouldn't have been terribly useful in the context of debate would it?)

Mary, no one should feel unwelcome to post on an open forum (including and especially OD sailors ). So, please DO continue to have your say (if it hadn't been for you Dermot would still be 'ruffled' .)

Having been the unwitting instigator of this episode. I'd just like to say... ENOUGH!

Let's just get back to respecting each other's points of view (even if we don't necessarily agree with them - oh, and feel free to say so too )

Gareth, (to get back on track) I see that your little project is a Twintex craft. Have you found that the material lives up to it's claims? Is it really as stiff, light and impact resistant as the bumf says? What if you don't like black or 'off-white'? Would it be a good or suitable material for home built foils? (the REAL point of my questions)
