Casey and Shultz did very well Sunday. Saturday must have been a handful. She got hit in the eye by a mettle trap handle, had to go to the beach, thus their DNS's for the rest of the day, I'm glad she didn't get seriously hurt and was able to sail Sunday. I'm going to remove my mettle dogbones and put something safer on there, I nearly took out a tooth!

Mike It amazes me how many people(veterans and newbies alike) just unhook and let go of the dogbone. Proper trap etiquette is a learned behavior that's lesson is usually a dogbone to the head or a death threat from the one you just hit.

Falcon Marine is building an F18 I believe but they aren't connected with Cirrus as far as I know.

Things may be a little clearer at Springfever. Maybe.

They are 2 separate places doing different things. Pretty sure there is nothing going on with Cirrus and I know no plans are in place to build the R in the US. I have seen some first draft drawings, so I do not think i am stepping out of line with saying there is an F18 from Falcon in the works | | | Re: Tradewinds Final Results
