Hopefully SO!!! I will give a report, if it is seen.

I have read on another forum, someone mentioned that Matt WILL NOT BE THERE Maybe as a joke, but sometimes jokes are serious.

we'll see. I shall keep you folks posted.

All persons that were involved with the Blade design over the past months and years, are biting nails, for it is out of their hands. Phill is feeling as he did before the first racing with the Blade F18 and who can blame him ?

For Matt and the guys at VectorWorks Marine, these are heavy days and I'm sure they welcome the forecasted 8-10 knots of winds over the usual 15 knots.

With regard to the posting suggesting that the Blade won't be at tradewinds, well that is a jibe at Matt for keeping us all in suspense for these last weeks. I think however that he will be there. I'm sure he would have liked to get a few weekends of training in but that ain't happening anymore.

Robi, I'm looking forward to your report and if you can spare the time while helping Rick can you place act like a papparazi and get a few first exclusive photo's of the lady in full swimming gear ?

We were suppost to keep that on the DOWN LOW!
