We are receiving the press releases and keeping an eye on the event. It would be nice to go out there and see it for real though!

And all sorts of other peope are there; lots of snooping at the wings. One of the guys I know out there says 1/2 the Oracle cup squad are floating around too.... ------------- Wanna learn to Ski - PM me.. |

Snooping seems a bit harsh... Grief, if you have any kind of interest in the technical end of sailboat development and are in reasonable reach of that event why on earth *would't* you get there if you possibly could? It has to be the most interesting and significant techie sailboat event of the last 5 years at least... |

Jim, I did not mean snooping in a bad way; as you say it's the most interesting techie thing! makes the Big A cup wing look like a bit of lego! ------------- Wanna learn to Ski - PM me.. |
