I have always been a student of the French revolution. After all they taught us that a good way to keep the rich and powerful in order is to cull them every now and then.
If any of us needed another reason to forgive the cheese eating and thank the French, this would be it.
I never get sick of that image of the tri coming into frame.

AWESOME !!! WOOF ... WOOF ... WOOF

Hey, I did not know there was a yellow 6.5 made. Looks cool <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The mast is the same colour - I'd say it's all a re-spray <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

JW, I thought I saw a picture of -some guys- racing downwind on the Blade, at the Alter Cup, in the lead, with the boards at least half way up... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> That is, when they weren't showing off by doing "arial stunts" on the wire! Playing Peter Pan and that sort of thing. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Boards down, big lead, 15-18 knots and pretty flat water. The Blade just didn't seem to mind.

Uhhuh. In medium wind and flat water, sure. But over 20, you might want to consider it.

But sometimes it helps...
