Dude, go back to SA, that's where you belong. Everyone can tell you I can be much more disrespectful than that! I'm just calling it like it is. This isn't Her Majesty's Army and I doubt some moistened bint threw a scimitar at you for you to weild supreme executive interweb power, so I won't go into Catsailor exile. With my last post, now you know how it feels to be disrespected by a post on a PUBLIC forum. The fact is, you couldn't have possibly been on all the boats at Worlds, so you don't know the cicumstances for performance. With that said, maybe I'll see you at your Nationals and we'll have a good chuckle. Remember, more people than you read what you type on your screen. F | | | Re: After World's Questions

Posts: 915 Dublin, Ireland | The Shockwave as pointed the big brother of the spitfire, designed by Ives Loday and Reg White, both Tornado legends, designers of the Vx40, check the VX40 again and you´ll see the distinctive bow shape. They also built the F18 Dart Hawk and the Dart 16 and the list goes on... http://www.swell-catamarans.co.uk/http://www.swell-catamarans.com Close enough - It was actually Yves and Robert White, Reg has finally retired. Robert is a Tornado World Champion. I saw the Shockwave in Brightlingsea, it is indeed like a very large Spitfire. Tim, you should have asked the Irish Agent . PS Add the Shadow, SL16, Topper Topaz 14 & 16 to that list.

How's your summer going? Warm and windy or wet with no wind? And the cruising cat, how's she doing?
It's been 94F every day here with very little wind. Overnight low's are about 80...too damn hot.

It's been 94F every day here with very little wind. Overnight low's are about 80...too damn hot. We got near 80 in early June. Now it's down to wet, windy, 60 to 70, when the sun comes out. The high pressure has moved back to the continent and the lows are rolling in off the Atlantic. The work on the Iroquois (cruising cat) is going well. We have had some weekends on board, with some light wind sailing - or purring along on the electric motors. Marjorie is slowly taking to it . I hope that you are feeling better.

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Thanks Dermot. I feel pretty good but the FAA won't let me go back to flying for quite a while. I'm sure as soon as the weather cools off and the wind comes back they will sign me off to go back to work though.
Glad to hear Marjorie is taking to it. Would -more wine- help? ;^)
