Everybody,

I've e-mailed Hans himself and popped the "who is crewing on the new G-cat F16" question to him.

He e-mailed me promptly with his answer.

... the rumours are right, Brett Moss will sail the boat with me (=Hans Geissler) as his crew, my weigth is 175 lbs and brett's weight is I beleive 160 lbs


175 lbs = 79 kg
160 lbs = 72.5 kg

is total of 335 lbs = 153.5 kg

This means of course that Matt is sailing his own Blade F16 and that we're looking at the following 6 boat F16 fleet.

(names = skipper / crew)

-1- Brett Moss / Hans Geissler ; G-cat F16 (debut)
-2- Chuck Harnden / Mavis Harnden : Blade F16
-3- Seth Stern / Kelly Gray : Taipan F16
-4- Bruce Barrs / somebody : Taipan F16
-5- Wilder Robles / Cary Palmer ; Blade F16
-6- Matt McDonald / Gina McDonald : Blade F16

Looks like a full doublehander line-up as I seem to remember that Bruce hooked up with somebody. If not then some A-cat sailor might sail on a Taipan afterall !
