Sailed an F16 Stealth today.

 

Loads of fun...

 

Ordered one; Should be ready in a couple of months.

 

Right, anyone want an Inter 17 ?

That is very cool news indeed  

Now, how many potential buyers for F16s are there at Grafham?

Far too old to still be doing this......

We'll see; not many at the moment.  The fast and Asm catfleet is very small at the momet:

2 Inter 17's (for now), 2 Tornado's 3 shadows and a couple of fast F18's when  they are not away.   A long way away from the time when we would have 20 Hurricane 5.9's every weekend....

Thriving Sprint 15 (Dart 15) fleet mind.

 

Edit to change Stealh to shadow....  I't been a long and difficult week (and now expensive) !

Les,

I've ordered a jib too so when it's howling (and you might be upside down on the 49er anyway   [runs away before he gets hit]) you'll have to come for a blast - it rates quicker than the 17 2 up (and nearly as fast as a Hurricane) so it should be a uber giggle....

Will be at the Grafham tomorrow, will you ?

Cannot wait to go out at Grafham with a little more wind.  Datchet was a little small as the tide was out.  (thanks again for the borrow Dave (I think it was your boat))

Very odd feeling the bubbles forming under the rudders; will have to think about what caused that.

Top toy; Buy one....

Pics of mine:

Single handed:

And this is what happens when those bubbles around the rudders get too big for the T foils to continue their grip on the water!  :

John,

I notice you have a Grant Piggot kite; How does the cut compare to the Original Landy one ?
