7 new F16s from AHPC are due in FL sometime in the next month. All sold and ready for homes.

The Vipers will be dispersed between: Memphis, TN (2) Birmingham, AL (1) Pensacola, FL (1) Panama City, FL (1) A new AHPC dealer in the NorthEast (2).
The AHPC dealer is also getting a Capricorn F18 to start his/her dealership.
That is a lot of boats to add at once. Some are avid racerrs and others are not. hopefully, we will see some of them in 2009.

Posts: 48 Belgium (Oostende) | We are mostly busy not sailing at this moment and we are waiting for a dry & sunny weekend to clean our boat (rinse all the salt off) and mast. Do you guys clean your boats regularly or during winter season? With what do you clean? Just clean water and some soap? | | | Re: knock, knock

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Kathleen, I wash my boat before and after every salt water regatta. At home, on a fresh water lake, I don't wash it so much, usually only before a regatta to get all the -stuff- off it. The Stuff is: Birds like to sit on the mast tip and poop on it and other bugs (spiders, ants) like to build nests/eggs on it.

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Well I suppose you are correct in that the hulls don't care, but since I have the bucket of suds and hose out, I wash the entire boat, the hulls usually have a lot of road grime on them from trailering, but I want the salt off the mast, beams, blocks, lines, and I lay the sails, harness, life jacket, gloves, booties, etc. out on the lawn and wash the salt off them too. I hang the spinnaker from a tree and spray it down to get the salt off it too. OK, call me anal...but I like a clean boat.
