I am not up with the play at present but can ask. "Tornado Tommy" (nat champ and he was not the guys who said the jib was so fast)runs his boats up here and I run into him.
What do you want me to ask when I see him?
Also, a couple of "race Tornadoes' have come up on a site here called Trade-Me.co.nz.
Might be worth checking sometimes.

I am going to show my ignorance now because I find the setting of a boat just as exciting and challening for the reach as up/down wind so why does no one race it anymore?
