Talk to Mike Wariker (pacer national champ) he sails at bbsc if that's helpful. ------------- RS600 988 |

Having sailed the Pacer nationals one year in a borrowed boat; make sure the fittings are all well screwed down and the hull isn't rotten. We kept pulling bits off ! More generally, get a good book on racing and race tactics. You would be surprised how many people have raced for years and still don't tack on headers etc. ------------- RULE 99.9 section A: Fast boats with big spinnakers have right of way. |

Keep your head out of the boat... Make sure you keep an idea of the 'bigger picture' - Just because you are on a nice lift doesnt mean your not sat in fowl tide. Dont focus on one thing too much. ------------- http://theramblingsofmyinnergeek.blogspot.com/ |

They're a rather more numerous and well founded class in Aus I think you'll find. |
