Dick Carter's book is available. Well worth the read.

Napoleon. My armies walk on their stomach; with food.

I really enjoyed reading his book. He recently gave a presentation at the NYYC, Newport. If you want to read more about it, please open my Blog listed below.

Figaro tries to combine several objectives for this One Design Class. Therefore, I can see that, the foils have to be retractable to park the boat, That hull integrity is better served with a foil starting at near deck level and that the objective is not to fly over the water.

SloopJonB. I sailed very few races aboard C=M 66'. I have seen 27 and reported 17 1/2 average on a course during S.O.R.C. Many people have sailed the boat, they can give their version. In the Marblehead to Halifax race she crossed the finish line so early that there was no boat to fire the gun. The record was held for many, many years. On the smaller Desperado 57'. Speed over 25 knots was so common that they had a tee shirt labelled, the "25 knots club". Speed, very seldom achieved at the time for a monohull. Especially for an I.O.R. designed boat.

First one on the East Coast.

Reminds of something!. Forget the cocktail dress until after.

Give me The french toast everyday. Boats too.

What is it with the companionway? It must never rain in the Med !

My last wooden One Tonner design. A fun boat and now for sale.

Saw her yesterday at Pirate's Cove Marina. You sure take good care of her.

Formula 1 running on 2 wheels. Scary and phenomenal at the same time.
