Probably because it is hard to find a big fleet to sail against and Ollie is really good in big fleet sailing. I know that he was able to sail the T in Florida recently with a lot of boats, but how often does that happen? Another concern is set up time (a couple of hours) and travelling (with the boat sideways).

Ollie, we are all interested in the "great deal" you got. If you do not want to mention the exact amount can you hint about the percent discount from say a $15,000 boat? Sly huh?

You may know by now that there are some manufacturing delays for the Infusion. The June time frame for the U.S. to finally get boats is kind of up in the air now, with that. Certainly the Capricorn is an interesting boat and has created a stir with its performance. I cannot imagine that it would lose any more value than any other Formula 18 in the States if you decided to sell it. Maybe with the scarcity it would be quicker to sell. In the end it is just the hulls you are buying because everything else can be replaced with equipment we already have available. What I mean to say is you will not be left in the learch because the manufacturer cannot get you parts quickly, just use whatever we use on the Hobies or Nacras for replacements.

Later,
