Light air & current will do that to you. Or cute chicks in passing
motorboats.


... but managed to pass most of the
fleet before the first turning mark. The boat has a great cockpit for
racing and accelerates like crazy out of a tack even in 8-10kts true.
Only problem is that 96 rating. You gotta be out in front big time.
I'd buy one. Cheap way into the 'A' fleet.


True, most "A" fleets wouldn't let a Stiletto cat in.

But I may already have a boat:

Time will tell, I gotta email the guy and find out if he wants to let it
go and if it's ready to sail down here. If all those hoops get jumped
thru, then I gotta find somebody who'll sail it down with me before we get
another hurricane.

Loco, I would also like to say a public 'Thank You' for your advice &
guidance during this wild goose chase.

Funny you guys should mention these two particular boats, we raced against
both at Bay Week, they gave us fits, both being slightly faster than their
rating, especially noticeable in the case of the Tripp, as their rating is
identical to ours. We partied with the guys from the Tripp, can probably put
you in touch with the owner.
