Stephen,

Go purple, you know it makes sense !

Purple is the new Pink <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, Rolf:

I have the brand name confused, now I think about it... my chute cloth is CONTENDER!, after all. (It's been a bad week.) It's Contender Dynalite 75 Silicone. Slicker than owl sh!t, that stuff is. We had to get some special fancy teltales just so they'd stick to the cloth ;-)

BTW, the keyboard isn't messed up, I was attempting capitalization for emphasis' sake.

Smyth hasn't a page up that I know of, but his business email is SmythSails@gnt.net

We certainly are pleased with the sails and the service... the laundry wasn't perfect out the box, but what wasn't perfect has been made aright, quickly.

Husband is looking over my shoulder, and saw your pic. He is asserting that the chute in your pic may well be the plain white, labeled 'natural' in the color sample set I have. He thinks it would be pretty transparent at least in the single-layer parts...

I note that our photo is way off-colour, as the colours are flourescent blue, flourescent pink, flourescent green (chartreuse) and grey.

Wout, what's wrong with the 70s? ;-)

I guess I'm Old Skool--see my avatar

The Purple is my favorite colour, however Stevie Brewin is currently running purple on his Capricorn. That combined with very simular jibs and mains, the 2 boats will look to close.

Stephen,

Very good Wouter..... I am the boat with the white kite directly to the right of him crossing on port.

Why not check out the video footage this was taken from here - http://www.formula18alive.com/06%20F18%20Nationals.wmv

Huh !


<img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Stevie is then sailing much faster then I thought he would ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Apparently A-cat sailors like Stevie do know how to sail a catamaran ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Wouter

Anyone other the Stephen biting ?

Personally, I like the unique patterns that some of the sailors have come up with so you see them on the water and go "There's Ding!". We drew up this spinnaker pattern for the Tybee this year and it's really striking when seen from a distance. There's no doubt that you're seeing Team Seacats on the horizon with this one. The one drawback, however, is that it certainly doesn't lend itself to applying sponsor logos to the spinnaker.

how about this?

Sharp!

Very Sharp.......

I like, cheers

I second that...I like that one better.

I thought everyone knew that the blue cloth was faster.

So if I paint my hull orange and have blue sails I will beat any boat on the water.... right?

especially any boat that is green/orange or garnet/gold
