Last weekend at the Salon Nautique (Paris Boat Show) I thought of iGRF and the V Twin in a crazy moment when I was looking around Wink

Glad to be of service Smile

Between the inflatable cat and the retro 70s windsurfing I think the thread has become very diverse

no worries Simon, the winking icon hopefully conveyed some element of urine extraction from the situation...

The all-hallowed V-Twin thread turning into the pimping ground for a 4.2m inflatable beach cat.... you couldn't make it up really   LOL

No it was a mangled statement given as a question. There's nothing to hide about my relationship with them at all and I don't gain anything from advertising them!

My commercial connection with them is being the designated sailor on their demo days.

I know anyone who sails anything viewed as "proper" gets really sniffy about Smartkat and their ilk but they are nice little fun boats that go like the clappers, are built properly by ze Austrians and it got a nice write up in Y&Y last year.

As long as you treat them as what they are (eg. it's not an A class),  a fun boat that packs down into a couple of bags and weighs 40kg rigged.

Lucky I've given up extreme homophobia as an ironical diversion...

is that a question Simon?   

Really I'd have thought you'd know as it appears you're (commercially?) connected?  Wink
