I was wondering if you were still alive or if the gay bars finally took their toll.

Oh lord. A tofu-eating Californian just tried to say "y'all." It's a contraction, folks, of "you all." Just like "ain't" is a contraction of "am not." Youse should look it up.

F16s are like F18s in the winter. Shrinkage!

Exactly - it looks bigger, but performs the same.

Guess I was wrong, I would have bet the original info came from the scrawny little A-cat guys anbd their designer 'skinny jeans'.

No need. As Eric so nicely pointed out, there's a reason we don't need spinnakers...

You SAY you don't need them, but the A-cat guy that was out with us on Sunday seemed to feel otherwise. He was all smiles on the uphill stuff, but we turned the corner and the guy started yelling that we were "cheaters."

edit: at least I think that's what he was yelling... after about 30 seconds, we'd gotten pretty far ahead of him and it was hard to make out what he was so upset about... maybe there was a shark or something...

Sucks when you have a big expensive boat and you can't get away from an A Cat or Hobie 16 until you get to pull out the chute, doesn't it?

He was yelling that because you had two spinnakers up.

Your sail

and your hair.

Sucks for the A-cat that the big fat fiberglass barge of an F18 can hang with them uphill. And did you say "expensive" when describing an F18 next to an A?

Hobie 16... yes, we see them at A-pin all the time - they always have the start before ours.
