As you said earlier "just too many excuses from the most vocal members of this forum".

My quess is that if Macca graces us with his presence in the midwest it will be on a 17.

Well, as it stands right now, F17 will be represented by 2 boats at Racine. They could use a few more boats.

how sweet would it be to get paid to sail these boats. show up, walk on the boat, sail, move on to the next event. yep.. we are all worthless because we have "regular" jobs that limit how much we can sail. damn... we suck.
I guess it is a good thing most professional sailors never post here. I can only assume they aren't all -ssholes like you. But then again... maybe they are.

I talked with Smyth for a while at the last Spring Fever. Why don't you take his example (not like you are in his class by any stretch) and be a good guy who is happy to contribute knowledge rather than criticize.

Dude, seriously, STFU.

LOL!

WWWHHHHAAATTT! You're the only one that caught it. If you hadn't said anything...

He's not the only one.

Hey Andrew,

I always wait till the last moment because of weather predictions. When there is a NW 5 bft waiting for us then i will not go with the massive surf in front of the beach. Last year i was observer with the family ( i need to score some points now and then ) This year i hope to go with the F16 but then it needs to be finished ( still working on my own boat, customers go first ) , if the weather is good and my 16 will not be ready i probably come with my A-cat. I make my dissicion on wednesday, thursday before the event. It is only a 1 hour drive for me.

We will see, in the mean time i try to keep training during weekends at Hellevoetsluis, i started end March with the training , so i made some hours already luckely.

Cheers,
Hans

If you leave it alone it will die from lack of interest.

I am hoping to sail sometime this weekend or next week for the first time in 8 months; I hoping I'm nearly fixed enough.....

Where were you "broken"?

Had a bit of a crash ski racing.

will not bore you with the details; shoulder has about 90% movement and about 60% strenght. Knee kinda OK; hand still hurts at times and thumb does not have full movement..

Just in time for the Mumbles F16 TT and the Welsh Cat Champs.

Ouch! Glad to hear you are getting back to -normal-!

Hu, that's scooby you are talking about. I'm not sure he was ever "normal".

[Sorry, that was way to easy ]

PM sent.

I resemble that comment.......

Macca,
I sail when I can. Would love to sail more BUT I have responsibilities based on my position.. I would swap with you.. But double if you could handle my corporate responsibilities.

HISSS! Let sleeping F18 trouble makers lie.
