Another 35 on the Radial.....hmmmmmm..

you are quite right, they are last year's, despite still having 2012 on the title and it being, well, 2012 last time I checked.

I also checked the event website and found an updated list, it really wasn't very hard to locate this year's random arbitrary listing and unsurprising the Radial hasn't actually changed since '2012'...

Has grumpf still got his asbo?  We hear nothing of that these days?  It could surely do with an airing at the WUS (warm up series)  I will crew (see how self sacrificing I can be....)

Has anyone seen the handicaps they are using for this event? The raycote website has a download entitled  'handicaps' but it simply repeats the SIs (which do not mention handicaps)

Been there, done that, got the 'T' Shirt - "Desperate Dan Bust my boat" reads the legend.

Wing wang if you beat me over the water in a low rider moth, I'd eat it.

Even though I know you're studiously avoiding me for fear your trust in mankind might be restored.

What would your excuse for not turning up this time be I wonder, "I dislocated my jaw laughing at one of igrf's humorous ripostes"?

See if it modify's Mike's beliefs.......

What beliefs ?  .....   If in reference to boats ... the latest  single-hander 'pet' project now going through the development wringer at Cirrus has a number of interesting features and characteristics.  Some I'm sure you would like / recognise yourself (!!).  Several might have first seen the light of day on the various 'prototype' craft spotted around in the last year or three. Frankly we have few firm beliefs on boat design ... The best design tool is usually the open mind plus consciously aiming to learn from others.  We will always look at ideas wherever they come from and however marginal they might appear at first glance. 

... and if thought 'good' you will just see them on what we are calling 'Echo' in due course !!.   But if we don't think it is leading towards something bit special it will like many one-offs hit the 'skip'.

... However if you were referring to GRF  (or even his possibly evil twin 'iGRF') I'm afraid our views are much more certain ... for now  Wink

But I do think he should pitch up at some of the Sailjuice events whatever and try some new stuff ...  in a Laser, Punk, EPS or whatever ...  simply for the fun.

well he split his wetsuit from too much talking at the FOM....
