A rock star Uni driver is what the sport and the class needs. Think about: one guy under spin, trapped out, lots of spray, excellent speed. That would make a great shot for TV.



Well, I think playing air guitar is about as close as he gets to being a rockstar but there are some excellent shots of Hans Klok single handing the Blade at the GC 2007.

I'm think about something like this.

basically,

The class (and I) have a huge database of pictures; there are bound to be some that will catch the imagination of would be 1-up F16 sailors.

I'm glad to see Hans trapped out so high. Now I feel better about getting knocked around so much.

Thank you Ed for those very kind words. I had a great time at this event and I am typically a "weekend warrior" and not a 5 dayer. I would do this again! In general, the participants were very friendly and very competitive. Just what I like! We did have some trying times, but we were always having fun when we were racing and that is why we love this sport. Racing catamarans has always been a huge part of our marriage and something we enjoy together and I'm going to do my best to keep that going. Thank you GYC, all our good friends (new and old) and for those that couldn't make it this year - we'll see you the next time.

For some reason I can't see your pics Simon; while other pics show just fine

Do others have the same problem ?

I think Tim meant this definition:

GUILTY!

I gotta' admit ... I chuckle every time I see that animated .gif.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Those are some good looking sails.

Did you put some negative round (hollow) in the luff of the spi from the tack and up 1.5 meters?

Thanks again; Praise needs to go to Grant Piggot; he built them with my input as to what I wanted them to do. I'll peg out the kite and have a look; but not that I am aware of; I simply said to Grant I want to have a flat Spi I can drive very hard!
