Posts: 915 Dublin, Ireland | Hey, how's that Brains Beer? Sounds like it might lead to a loss of a few cells! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I know we are completely off topic <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> They have a great variety of beers in the UK. We only have a few in Ireland. Stick to the Guinness <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> A miserable afternoon in Dublin - we are settling down to watch the Scotland - France game (played in Scotland) on TV now. Enjoy your game later - with the Guinness <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Posts: 915 Dublin, Ireland | Didn´t want to reply about rugby as we already some have fireworks here! but Pumas should play six nations, as all our players are up there in Europe, if not, at least let them play for the country of their respective clubs <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> How about Felipe playing for Ireland?? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
They have applied for the 6 (7) Nations. But in the meantime we are very happy to have Felipe in Leinster <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Ireland haven't done too well in the Southern Hemisphere recently - we haven't learnt all the wrestling moves as Brian O'Driscoll found out <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

The more modern shape of the Dart 16 enables it to point much higher than the Dart 18.

Posts: 115 | Just to show some progress of our 1st 16 delivered with racing rig, new rudders and castings, selft tack, spreaders etc Launched last weekend but I sailed her yesterday. Quite lively and responsive sailing comparing with the F18. Is like going from Tornado to F18 feeling. Not fully F16 as we put an 8mt mast and no dagger, but the concept has catched up, and sales of the 16 already equals F18 and we project to double them this season, for sure we will have a 16 class too along the F18. But I'm reluctant to call her an F16, just 50cm short on mast... jje Cheers, Martin P.S: Main sheet is not correctly set, but I want to show the pics anyway. Torpedo Tube still there also <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> , there´s a step at keel line below the tube too. | | | Re: RaceCat RC-16

So well done, hope to see more of it in the future !

I agree, well done, I hope it all goes well for you, and we start to see some of your boats around the place. Tony
