What ever happened to the ford cortina?

It turned into the Sierra and then into the Mondeo - a little bit like the Spark/Dart 15/Sprint 15, it keeps on changing its name!

LDC Racing Sailboats could have a limited life in the boat making business. They have made the 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800. So all that's left for them is the 100, and 900. Unless of course they start giving the boats random names like "Feva" or they make an RS627.

Not sure I'd want to be limited to Buzzes and 500's as prey now I've got the V3k though...

 

I think it might be time your handicap was looked at MM.

I know Doug, I was out with Tim in his 59er a few weeks ago and we couldn't keep up, annoying isn't it?
