Interesting to read the stuff posted here. Fumes you splitter! lleft me in Wales without a mainsheet man and joined Lawrie. But I'm not bitter....mines a pint!

Anyway for anyone who is interested, I own one of the beasts. Started life looking after B&Q for John Caulcutt then with the help of a sponsor bought it from him and set about spending lots of money over a ten year period and had the biggest blast of my life. She became Blockbuster Video, Ultra Virgin, BT Marine, Hoya and finally United Airlines. once the circuit finished (and about time, my liver could take no more!) The thought of what else could be done has been ever on my mind.

At last the answer has been found. RORC have decreed that with a little modification we can have a sportsboat cert. First  I have to dump all the overweight kit forced on by the old Ultra OD rule. As mentioned earlier by Fumes the now over stiffened rigs weighed a ton, so Selden have built me a new Carbon one 40kg lighter than the old. The rule alows us to use the old sails, so all that's left is to add some lead to the keel, 300kg should do it. Dig out my dry suit, find seven nutters and head off for the warsash spring series. 

Guess who is going to be first in the bar?

i dont think you will find it much of a challenge to find seven nutters to join you on that beast!
