We sailed our #1 AC Blade for the first time this weekend at Cinco-de-Mayo and it was INCREDIBLE!!!! We named her "Too Sharp to Touch" and she truly lived up to the name and sail #. Placed first in the open A fleet (1,1,4,2,1 throw out 4). The boat is so smooth and just flys. Had a little bit of trouble with the shifty wind and light air, but still was finishing infront of and correcting over most of the other boats. The last race about 3/4 the way to A then to finish in last place--I moved from balancing the boat to flying the hull in a second. Rounded the mark, pulled the spin and flew!!! What a ride. The wind clock 180, dropped the spin and placed first over 4-F18 and an I20. We had so much fun and yes we are keeping her!!!

Joanna,
"To Sharp to Touch" I love that name.

It's great that you like your new boat.

Regards,
Phill
