Hi All,

yes you read it correctly "Altered" is For Sale for Aus$16,000. I tried to attach a power point file with all the details, but it didn't work so contact me here and ask for more information if you are interested.

Before you ask, no I am not getting out of F16, hope to continue to sail F16, but want a F16 that I can sail 1 or 2 up with my boys when they want to sail with me <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

The other question I can't answer for sure yet. What I change to depends on what production F16's are available when "Altered" is sold.

Gary,

Is your next F16 a Blade ?

Regards,

Peter

mmmmmmm......... Too many toys, not enough money. Very tempting but timing VERY bad <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Gary, how old are the kids? I'm glad to hear you will stick with the F16, it offers the best of both worlds, solo or two up racing.

Hi Timbo,

they are 18 and 12.

Regards Gary.

Hi all,

just thought I would attach a pic of Altered that my 18yo cut down for me, just in case you think Altered is only sailed on flat water in light breezes.

Hi all,

here's another one, note the twist in the head and I was still overpowered if anything. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Check where the boom is centered, I think it may be time to start dropping the traveller?

Another wallpaper material image. Gary, by any chance in the world is there a clearer image of this last photo?

Yep; Traveller out a bit there I think

Hi Robi,

I think that is as good as it gets, my son tells me all he did was cut out some back ground. I think Tim has the original CD that was sent from Eden. This pic was copied from CD to hard drive to flash drive then cut down, finaly down loaded from flash drive, does that drop quality?

Love your wall paper of Canadian Blade it's taken over from Altered on my computer for the moment. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

JPG files can lose quality with every Save. JPG processing loses information everytime it runs it's compression routine. Many programs allow you to control the amount of jpg compression. So, the potential exists that the original is in a somewhat better condition but probably not as clear as what Robi wants.

With what I have I will be able to manipulate the colors, hopefully without much graining and muster something up.

Here's Gary's advert (in PDF format).

Digital files do not lose any information when being copied, that is the beauty of digital data.

Bitmaps (.bmp) do lose a little bit of quality when saved as/converted to a .jpg/.jpeg.

Here is the original of Gary sailing away from the cliffs - with spectators on the rocks. There are two almost identical shots but I think this one is slightly clearer.

Warning - this file is 1.6MB

Hello Gary. I seem to remember you used an A class carbon mast on your boat.... any tips on my doing a good job of it? Cheers

Hi all,

"Alered" is still for sale, now at bargain price of $13,000. I am happy to sell boat platform only or no trailer or other variations, price is negotiable.

You could be doing this soon, see attachment. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ok.. edmonton? sheesh just been there.. Its not warm!! how can you sail in that weather?

Yup Edmonton
Had our last regatta Oct 8-9. It was below freezing in the mornings. Gradually warmed up to about 7 deg C. Strangely, I haven't even invested in a drysuit yet.
Seasons over now <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> we start up again in May, but some years we have been delayed waiting for the ice to go out.

I believe that I'm the only F16 in Canada. Lack of cat type competition is stifling my development. But a spin cat is what I wanted. You won't find me hiking some laser flat just for the sake of good competition.

Didn't there used to be several Unicorns in your area? What happened to them? Now I can't remember the name of the guy who built them there. And aren't there still a bunch of 18-squares down at Lake Ma-me-o? And aren't there any Sea Sprays still around?

Well, it's probably been 14 years since we were up that way, so I guess things change.
