Projection 762 Help please?

   Good pics!
'Pink Gin' arrived at Port Edgar last week, now we've got some competition...
Still awaiting our new PY handicap, not doing any IRC events so I haven't applied for a certificate.

	I only posted my revalidation form this morning as I was waiting for the new sail measurements. Boat's going back in at easter and racing begins in April. Going to do most of SailEast this year, quite looking forward to it

	here's a bit of video one of our competitors took. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sTlQQTEEkE It was taken from a Grand Surprise 32 (Irc 1.059) so I'm not too embarrased by their driving through our lee and pointing up in front of us like that . the add hyperlink button doesn't seem to work Kev Zulu GBR 7622

	Boat looks good Kev! But can I ask what the figurehead tied to your pulpit is?

	Figurehead is Myrtle the Turtle from Cherbourg. A prize from the fair in Cherbourg after the JOG race over last year . Myrtle is the most reliable crewmember, always shows up and never has a hangover. Kev.

	Just got the 2008 numbers back - we're still at 0.972. Reasonably happy with it - we've upped the kite by 5sqm since last year and only slightly reduced headsail area

	Got our new IRC cert today! 0.966 up 0.001 on last year! Have not done a thing to either the boat or sails since the last cert issued in July/August last year! The rating office must have a computer that is affected by temperatue/humidity or some other factors. I thought as boats got older they would get a better shake, but not in the case of the trusty Projection....eh?

	That's interesting. Our cert has gone down year on year for as long as IRC has existed.

	They have taken a dislike to anything with a fin and bulb keel this year. Now I know the projections isnt exactly that but its quite racy and that might have influenced this.
