I've given you guys the facts. And Wouter, my e-mails to you keep bouncing. Are you still using that hotmail account?
Yep, 170 mb free space in my inbox and an attachment limit of 10 MB.
why are you guys trying to tear down the boat? It exists - it is real - it is sailing.
Why are you trying to turn a conflict about a single claim into a much larger dissing of the whole design ?
I don't think any of us tried claiming that the boat didn't exist, didn't sail or that it was bad in any way.
The conflict is completely focussed on the "Infusion is making a very strong showing in Europe against all comers" statement. That is all.
Here are a couple of pics that I've tried e-mailing Wout. I got these on March 10th
These were made at the Dutch Boatshow Hiswa which was held from 28 feb to 5 march 2006. I already said that the boat was at this boatshow, no disagreement there. No relevant proof in it either.
- the boat has certainly been wet since then, don't you imagine?
I don't do "imagining things" John. I KNOW it has been wet since here in Netherlands. The proof is here behind this link (and in the picture).

Trey, are you still reading this ?

No wonder the guys who are sailing it don't post here -
Actually John, one of them did post on this forum. The very guy who is crewing for Gunnar in the picture posted 3 replies in the infusion thread of late februari 2006 when the first pictures were published of them sailing the boat on the Dutch North sea. His handle is nacra555 and he even supplied his e-mail adress in a post so he could be contacted by interested persons. On his new infusion I'll be getting my Infusion test ride.

I certainly hope the other sailor in the picture does remember me. I finallly cleared his new Marstrom M20 handicap rating at the RC office at Round Texel 2003 where I was the acting rating official. He was the M20 importer and dealer at the time. Some people have short memories however.

Honestly, you guys really should have done your homework (on my person) better.
Now, having said all this in my defense in my well know sarcastic style (He, its me, wouter !) I will now make my end to it.
I want to appologize to John if he feels that I wronged him. It was never my intent to insult anyone or bad mouth a new F18 design. I was trying to express my amazement at a particular statement that I felt was more then just a little bit unfounded at this time. However the way I expressed this can well have been too confrontational, and that is uncalled for.
So John, I'm sorry to have offended you.
Wouter
