Sooo, who will be reporting from the GC? We was spoiled last year with Phills reports from Zandvoort and expect no less this time around <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Looking at the entries, there are many there who I know for sure are literate <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Your dagger boards were working fine when this photo was taken. I'm actually leading the race <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> with Chris Field and Tom Taylor following. Now I'm going to stop gloating as it will all be different next weekend. Don't mention the downhaul!! ahhhhhhhhh <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
I feel as if I'm being moderated as this is the second time I have failed to add an attachment!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Sorry Mark, but that is positively not the case. I attached a picture to a post I made last night, so the forum software also works. Which kind of indicates that the problem might sit somewhere between the back of the chair and the keyboard <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

No worries, I think this image is best left to your imagination anyway as I certainly didn't have enough downhaul on.
But you were correct, it was me who was at fault as I have subsequently turned down the quality and it has now loaded.

If there is free wifi in the neighbourhood, I would be happy to post a report (if ofcourse the ice-T's don't keep me away from my laptop...).

A pity there are no Vipers present. No UK APHC dealer near Mumbles?

We will be arriving on Wednesday. I know Geert and Joanna will already be present. Any other crews that will go for a test sail on Tuesday?

Just to impress competition: <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g7HKczJbp8 <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Great video Gill! Looking forward to sailing with you and Kathleen again, and meeting everyone else. Lets try to get out on Thursday. I need the practice-haven't been on the cat since July 6th. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Simon,

I'll also be taking my GPS with me. I know Geert normally will take his too. I would be nice to have some more sailors with GPS on board! Ofcourse I don't know how easy you can compare data....

Gill,

I will have my laptop with me, if you have a suitable data-cable (I have a Garmin unit with a round 12 pin plug) and have a data cable for it.

Do you have a data cable for your unit? The club has WiFi so we should be able to download a Driver if we need one.

Simon,

I have a data cable, but no serial port on my laptop. Do you happen to have one? I have all the software on my pc, so we should be able to transer if if necessary.
I have a Garmin GPSII (old :-) )

Do you know if we need any paperwork for the catamaran to cross the border between France and the UK?

I assume you mean an RS232 D type plug? If so i have a Serial to USB converter.

AS for paperwork, I don't think so.

Gill,

Will take also a laptop with me, and a serial to usb converter cable, so that should not be a problem.
If someone wants it, i also do have an old garmin gps 12, just don't have an extra watertight case for it.

See you soon, will start driving tommorow.

Please don't forget to bring some £'s with you for the Severn Bridge. Otherwise, you'll have a 100km detour!

Geert, have a safe drive and see on on Wednesday (we arrive in the afternoon).

I also admit that I only talk to Kathleen while sitting on the boat...

Welcome to our world. I've known Mark about 10 years and he's maybe answered my calls twice... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
