p.s. Save me a spot next to the "spot" at Spring fever( you will be there,right?). I picked up a modern hippie van.

Anyone know if it will make it to production before the US event in September? Or the Worlds in July? Really nice lines...

John, what does "pro-wing" mean?

Tawd, I'll be at the spot, next to the spot, and I'll save you the spot beside it! Hope you can make Tommy Whiteside Regatta 2 weeks before SF. Ive got a room for you at the house,

I'll be guessing that they will be wanting to be having it fully developed, and at least all the pros sailing one by eurocat at the begining of May.

At quick glance it looks like someone has put a Hobie main on a Capricorn :-)

I couldn't help but to spend about 10 seconds thinking of better names. I came up with roughly 200.

Are the "Rails" on this boat similar to the spitfire rails?
Anyone know how well the spitfire rails work?

I like it a lot. Just have to get used to the helm, it's a bit more sensitive than I'm used to.

Compared to the old Tiger helm - yeah, it is much more twitchy.

Who's driving it, East Coast or West Coast? Or will it be an import? You be such a freaking tease!
