Buzzi bullet has been chartered and will be racing against us, just hope we beat them!

Thank you for your reply, will look forward to seeing the new winged mono in action this weekend, I would imagine it will be quite strange watching your own boat race against you, and there again as your previous boat has had the benefit of years of setting up and your new boat has not, it could be a tough one to beat in the first few races.

could be useful.

Spoke to nofear last night, he'll be out and about and is keeping his boat in hythe I think. I had my engine cleaned last night and am going to try her out this avo. If she's good i'll be out this afternoon, tomorrow and sunday, hopefully making my way up to cowes most days. If you see me give me a shout or call me up on ch16 (or shall we nominate a ribnet channel, 72 it normally is isn't it?).
