Nope. First stage boosters ready to go. 10, 9, 8, .... NASA tired of all the space shuttle issues turning to a new launch pad. Should be good for the sport!

As a matter of fact ... I did!
I think I was the first one to sail it! Little bit heavy .. And the toestraps are quite slippery ... ( Yes, ratface did a backflip out while crewing for me .. reaching with the kite and he disapeared with a nice splash! ) but overall, will probably do what it was designed for. ( Family cruising ) Time will tell! |

If you can't carry it, don't sail it! |

It was actually totally accidental I think!!
Thats the boat I took to the Inlands and loosened the toestraps off a LONG way for ( Comfort reasons! ) but they were too loose for general use at the club, so they were tightened back up. It looks like the rope tying them in was replaced a few weeks ago now though. They took the boat out, and I was out helping with Safety, and happened to have my camera with me as they were reaching around. Saw a gust coming, so out comes the camera, and snapping away .. Gust hits .. They hike stupidly hard ... Boat starts coming flat, and they bear off a little ... ( Snapping away this whole time ) ... look back up .. and see the helm is a little further out than before ... ( as in that pic ) Turns out from later analysis ( sitting alongside them ) that the knot had come undone, and he was hiking from the elastic! Once in a .. umm ... Month photo! The pics taken just before the rope slipped ... |

Indeed I have. I was there just the other week with the Scouts. Was this hilarious outcome a result of some cheeky foul play, or just an inquisitive mind playing with rope in a boat? Quality photo's btw! Must be one of those jedi photographers with reactions like that! |

My favourite was unhooking myself before coming in off the wire - fortunatly no one to see that one. In the split second before I hit the water I did think it was a bit of a dumb thing to do |
