So TT I find myself in a state of extreme disquiet.

Not only have you managed to barge your way to the head of the boat of
joy ownership queue, but I note you have now switched your ID icon from
that of the Rebel Alliance to the Imperial Emblem of the Empire.

I note at this stage it is merely that of Space Cadet a rank I have always
felt you well qualified for.

But this change of allegiance..

The 1st Boat..

Is there something more we should be aware of?

You should choose a different coloured spread then.

Nah, it's what happens when Mummy isn't there to tuck your shirt (back) into your underpants....  And As for mclube, that's for the sh*t in the sock, eh Jimbo?

Cheers guys.

It all looked so beautifully sorted on the final production boats at the show
that I was really surprised to see any muffin-top.

Doesn't it look just great to see it finally sailing and looking soo sweet.

Chris

I have sailed two prototypes and neither had kite launch retrieve issues, so
set up or snag on the water. It has had plenty of test sailing.

Looking at the video again (sadly nothing better to do until end March !) I
note that in virtually every shot where the kite is not flying, half of it is
hanging out of the chute onto the foredeck - not quite as sweet as it all
looked at the Boatshow !

Is this a prototype rigging issue, a sailor issue (rushed packing) or
something we will need to work on ?

James - any issues with this on your production boat ?

Its a Phantom, there were no solutions at either event.

Could be a Phantom or a Solution being overtaken in the video. It is not
clear whether it is a solid or concave foredeck if you look closely. Sails could
be either, both have a forestay and its foggy! I guess only the person sailing
can tell us for sure

Anyway , Nick only said they would stay with a phantom upwind in the light,
not cane them over twenty yards

Oh and just checked the Tiger Trophy results. Plenty of Phantoms, but NO
solutions..... Great sailing by Anthony York and maybe these boats are that
quick
