Have you guys been in touch with Paul N. in Sydney? He's built a couple of modern 6s and 8s. Last time I spoke to him/saw the boats they hadn't been out for years.

Hopefully I'll drag Balmain Bug (Hysterical 6) out in one of the last twilights of the year down here. Apparently the owner is happy to let the boat go out, it just means dragging some guys off the Mumm and persuading them to get wet instead of getting another bottle of booze for winning the yachts, and that may not be too easy.

PS - what's to stop a modified Formula board coming into the class? It would ruin it so maybe the Moth rule against freestanding rigs should be adopted.

I love it..... a great answer to the 'new development' class question. Simple, cheap and offering a real alternative to the current designs.

Can't you leave the poor boy alone! Honestly, Carshalton, tgruitt might be no angel but no one else is either! So, give him a break, he's my friend.

(remember, I've got a few photos of you and ideas how to use Photoshop to the full.... Might see you one the Gossip thread later?)
