To all F16 sailor racing at tacticat tonight ...

Tuesday night at 21:30 GMT our team race F16 vs world starts.

I have skype installed so we can talk while racing.

Lets test it before the racing starts.

Please search for me on Skype using Wouter.Hijink and lets get hooked up.

Otherwise please sign in to Tacticat early so we have a team ready to race on 21:30 GMT sharp.

This is valuable promo guys.

I'll be online around 2100 GMT (5 pm ET).

skype name: tback.f16

I often use skype while tacticating with no problems.

But some users have reported boat-jumping when engaged on Skype chat. Could be PC ressorces exhaustion (bad PC) or connectivity bottleneck at CPE (the modem or home router).

Just be warned.

And luck.

We lost but we gave them a good race.

And that is quite honorable

Till next time

Wouter is being to humble. He finished first in every race and was lacking support from the other F16 sailors (myself included).

It was very fun and am looking forward to the next challenge.

Damn sux! I was in the race for like two minutes. Sorry I could not be of any good support, but being on a dialup connection does not help too much either.

That quote may be a little misleading. I finished first overall in only the 1st and 3rd race. I finished 3rd overall (I beleive) in the 2nd race. I was first in each race of the blue team.

I must also say that on a few occasions I was helped valuably by the other blue sailors.

We had 5 pure F16 sailors in the team


Terry B. (ranked 18th in tacticat)
Wouter H. (ranked 24 in tacticat)
Geert R. (ranked 25th in tacticat)
Pete P. (ranked 26th in tacticat)
Tom S. (ranked 73th in tacticat)

Mick = guest sailor to fill F16 team (ranked 20th in tacticat)

A little bit of an overdose of Blade owners I'm afraid, as I was the only non-Blade owner. Hopefully a few UK sailors can join us next time to even things up a bit. Maybe the Stealth performs better then the Blade on the computer screen as well ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> (=joke)

The other team member was Mick, a RS800 (monohull skiff) sailor from the UK, ranked 20th in tacticat. I think that is a good turn-out for a small class like ours. We need not be ashamed of our loss. There were some good tacticat sailors in the opposing team like :

Wundaboy : right now ranked 2 in tacticat listing
Can_349 : right now ranked 3 in tacticat listing
Guasa : right now ranked 5 in tacticat listing
Windvane : right now ranked 7 in tacticat listing
Hobiecat : right now ranked 9 in tacticat listing

And 2 others I can't remember


Pretty much the 20th-30th fleet in ranking took on the top 10th ranked sailors. I also think we missed Robi (ranked 8th) and Aquata (ranked 16th).

I'm pretty satisfied with the result and I enjoyed myself.

So I will be there next time, I hope the rest of the team has the same feelings about it.


Wouter

Take your revenge next time Robi !!!

Too bad we lost <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Sorry I couldn't make it but 11:30PM was just a little bit late for me.

oh I will! We will hit them so hard, they will have NO idea what came through their course. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

They must have won the battle but the war is far from over!
