There should be a few F16s there as we've included it as part of our TT series. ------------- Far too old to still be doing this...... Stealth F16s "White Rhino" GBR527 & "Yeah Baby" GBR538 |

Which race are you planning to do? I'm going to be 2-up on the F16 and quite fancy the full Piers Race, but I think the single hand F16s are planning on doing Colne Point. Paul |

Paul, Depends. If it looks like it's not going to howl (and the direction looks good I'll be up for the full course). Last year was light, but I had a fairly wild sail back from Colne to Bradwell with the kite up was wild in a good F5 with big waves and even bigger standing ones where the River flows meet / diverge. You can change your mind even on the moring of the race so I'll just enter for one and then make a decision on Saturday night as I program my GPS for the way-points / route. ------------- Wanna learn to Ski - PM me.. |
