Default Hey Oz--

I could not put the book down and actually was
reading it aloud to other people on the boat.

It's called "The Proving Ground"

Lots of info about that particular race.

I challenged him to a race one, but he turned me down... absolute truth. :-)

What can you tell me about Larry Ellison's boat Sayonnara? I'm told he
raced it in the Hobart the year so many died. Any knowledge about that?

I was looking it over rather thoroughly today. It's in storage in a
building in Holland, MI, waiting for who knows what. Sure is a big
*******.

That's it! Great book. I liked the description of "apartment building size
waves" and why would any sane person pay to do this. :-)
