| saw the prototype F18 from Loday white at the Spitfire Nationals last weekend! sorry no pictures <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> trade-mark spitfire shape bows, big deep hulls, big beams, stern chines/ spray rails !! spit style rudders, tramp and a few other bits. New mast section, neat adjustment on diamonds. To me it looked quite simple, unclutterd and big! but then I have a Spitfire. | | |  Re: loday white F18

Long Beach, California | First impression - fat, square sterns with chines. And I see there are problems with Harbor Seals other than here in Long Beach. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Long Beach, California | I said it with a smile - my luck, that is some world famous cat sailor who will now seek to destroy me. Chalk it up to my Katie Couric moment. Headed home in less than a week for F18s!!! No Lodays on the trailer, but we do have a Tiger, a Cap and an Infusion stacked and ready for the loooooooong drive east. All three F18 designs in the US represented on a single trailer, and the universe didn't fly apart. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Truly - I have heard very positive reports on the new White F18, though the price I heard floated was considerable. I expect that a retail price will be rolled out once they get to production. The new Hobie F18 is in the same category - a Martin Fischer design that will reportedly be raced in Aruba with full production runs in the pipeline soon. It is a good time to be racing F18.

Dublin, Ireland | That's a lot of photos alright. There were 28 Spitfires, 20 Shadows and 22 Hurricane5.9s.
If you count down from the top, The F18 can be seen around number 60, 205 and 220 - 2 photos each time.

Cheshire, UK | A lot of Spitfires all right - but just for the uninitiated, those without jibs are Shadows. I think Mr Loday has a theme going on, so it's difficult to tell his boats apart from a distance.
Anyway Dermot, isn't time you changed your signature a little? I look forward to getting some tips from you next time round!

I don't think Gary got the seal and flipper joke <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Those Spitfire sailors - no sense of humour <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cheshire, UK | Dermot,
you'll have to keep us up to date with your progress - on the Shadow forum I suppose, rather than continue the hijack.
Perhaps Gary didn't want to think about seals too much. We were all rather seal-like, floating around last weekend.
John certainly set himself up there! Like the "war" - he mentioned it once, but I think he got away with it!
