Pat shoots and... SCOOOOOOORRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

More bickering? Ok, here you go:

You all should stop wanting a boat that "feels" like a Nacra 20 going upwind - stop screwing around trying to get other lesser wimpier boats to "feel" that way and GO BUY A NACRA-20! No heavy F-18 masts to bust your back! No worries about whether your f-16 can handle your "supersize me" butt! No debating whether one design can resist going down the mine more than another!

Your catamaran prayers have been answered! Visit Our Lady of the Screaming Reach and be saved, Brother! All it takes is to give yourself to the one and true boat to believe in, the Nacra-20!

Bicker on!

So if the Blade F16 is so hot, how come there aren't any clips on YouTube or Google Video?

I smell a fad... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Because we are too busy sailing instead of making videos. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

You'll see two Blades racing in these clips. You can also see promo clips on our website. You may also notice that the Stealth's are in front!!

It is not about how big *it* is but how you handle it !

And yes it is a complement to the F18's, A's and such that they are used as bench marks. They're are not succesful classes for nothing are they ?

If you decide to become a player then you better be prepared to play big.

Stewart,

This thread is the same ol' rehash but fun to read. Your geographic area (Cleveland, et al) is a hot bed for F18's...and more specifically...Tigers. If your remotely interested...get a ride on an F18 and come play with us. You won't regret it <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tiger? A distinct possibility, and regardless of what we end up on, we'll likely do some sailing in MI so are paths are likely to cross.

See you on the water, for a beer, or both! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Knock it off!! This the animosity thread! Go be courteous and civil some place else! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

And merry Christmas too! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Nah...no beer. Tequila is my poison especially in a margarita <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> If you come up to da mitten our paths will definitely cross.
