Hi David,

welcome to F16, that is a round about way of getting a Australian designed boat via the USA <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Hope you get back to sail in OZ one day, by then the Blade will hopefully be made in OZ. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Don't worry about your weight, I was cleaned up by a two up Taipan with about that weight on board at the states, it's fast.
