I sailed with Cary Palmer, we had a blast. We did alright. I would say, I sailed better than Daytona beach. It is extremely hard to keep up with folks that have been sailing as much as they have compared to my less than a year on the boat, and two years total on beach cats.

Had a close look to the G-Cat two words SWEET BOAT!

If you compare a Blade to the G Cat the only difference is the hulls and the rudders. Obviously G Cat hulls are boardless and it had Dotan rudders.

As far as racing goes, Me and Cary only kept up with the Uni-Can (Bruce, I forgot his catsailor nick) Very good sailor indeed. He definatley proved that a F16 Uni can and will keep up with the sloops even in a blow.

Our first race, I was too powered up the 10 seconds prior to the start, and to avoid going over I had to sail to far down the unfavored end. This same race, we took the B mark twice when we were not suppost to. Cost us LOTS of ground, big error.

Second race Cary took the stick. We had a very good start and we were keeping up with the fleet really good. Sadly we were having a hard time to complete tacks. We were getting stuck deadwind and the boat would not move.

Third race we pitch poled pretty insanley. Both bows went under and we were unable to recover. Once I slided foward, it was all over. We brought the boat back up and continued the race and finished.

We finished dead last in all the races It aint easy sailing against bad butt sailors. Still a lot to learn. These boats are NO joke. Time to consider a sailing seminar.

All in all a very funfilled weekend.
