As part of household cutbacks, we no longer get the mag, so can't see it. Being transparent, maybe I'd not be able to anyway... ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |

Ah! An invisible (rather powerful) tow-boat too. Now you mention it I can just make out a bow wave beyond the TP24. Mind you, with photoshop, one never knows what you camera guys get up to...

It wasn't been towed it had one of those little motors the cyclists hide in their seat tubes in each rudder

Thanks Nick. Good way of testing foils at an early stage, I guess. ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |
