Just spat my coffee all over my screen, fucking brilliant!

Notice who's name is on the sail too!

Got the first "Kirby Torch" Newsletter: Here Comes The Kirby Torch! We are writing to share a few pictures of the very first Kirby Torch Sailboats. The ranks of Kirby Torch Class Members continue to swell, and we are hard at work setting up a Class Association that will...

I can't wait until they get destroyed in court on this, any chance of SA getting an interview or at least a statement from Kirby on this Clean?

I voted no too on the final day of my membership. Haven't renewed since.

Nothing because nothing new has happened....could be like this for a while until everyone's lawyered up and ready to go.

You have completely misunderstood me! I sail lasers too. What I am saying it is a shame the laser has taken over completely, to the detriment of sailing in general. It wouldn't be a bad thing if there was a few less of them and a few more of different classes!

Yeah I agree with you, But if ISAF refuse to recognise the torch for a while will it not be allowed in? Cause it's about time they changed the boat anyway...

Does anyone know if the boat will continue to be an olympic class? Seems to me ISAF and the IOC won't put up with this shit for long!
