I've given you guys the facts. And Wouter, my e-mails to you keep bouncing. Are you still using that hotmail account?

Look, you boys can interpret things however you want - good sailors say they are sailing the Infusion, that they like it, it is going well against other platforms and it is racing this weekend. Stop trying to make something I said in passing more than it is - why are you guys trying to tear down the boat? It exists - it is real - it is sailing.

Here are a couple of pics that I've tried e-mailing Wout. I got these on March 10th - the boat has certainly been wet since then, don't you imagine? No wonder the guys who are sailing it don't post here - you'd think I claimed Bigfoot was having an espresso at the corner cafe and would be sailing a one-off F-16 in the Round Texel this year.

John,
I doubt they are racing this weekend, there are two mayor Spring races held in Holland and both start April 9th.
From what I've heard they are test sailing it, dont know if against non-nacra F18s.
I'm going to one of them next weekend so maybe I can see if it's any good.

The pictures you got where also visible on this website, which is from a Yamaha director who also happens to be a nice guy and sailing/racing enthusiast. (Although sadly the link to the Nacra F18 pictures "new toy for boy" no longer works.)

The websites from the clubs hosting the Spring racing series are:
