Maybe we should stick with our Fireball & Topper mini-scows, then. Did anyone ever sail a Tempo (from South Africa) or Flipper (Scandinavia). The latter really was a big 2-man Topper , but g.r.p. and more sophisticated rig; probably slow in light airs but otherwise fun. |

Sailed in the Inland Lakes Regatta a good few years ago, up in
Milwaukee on the great lakes - I think there were about 3 classes of
scows (but maybe more) - loads of sailing talent involved - including
the Melges clan. They are great fun in a pile of breeze but awful
in the light stuff, despite the huge amount of canvas up top. they work
well on the lakes due to the lack of chop/waves, wouldn't like to sail
one off the coast of GB or in a tidal estuary - slow tacking, wallowing
in waves but mega quick once you're powered up

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. |

Don't worry, most of the energy is being wasted in the name of creating spray Great video! Mike |

But spray is also good, watery fun. Not keen on boats that leave me too high or remote from the element I enjoy playing in; just a matter of taste. Probably correct though that the delightful beast could do with a weight cure. Fewer crew members, on trapezes, and most likely a chunk off the hull weight would add to the fun. |
