£17,075.00 inc Vat.  Quite an impressive credit card limit. (New keel ready to fit £2200)

Yeh that totally pissed me off, go there for the weekend, have a really good race on Saturday coming 14th.  Then Sunday, we have one general recall and then goes to black flag...they didn�t even get to 1 min to go...flag goes up the whole thing is called off.  "Go home guys...your not starting because we can't control you" It was such nice conditions, the sun was out and there was loads of wind.  

SB3's are so casual to race up wind... you�re not allowed to hike!!!! Down wind in the blow it�s just entertaining! Plus you have more people to talk to! I�m not converted, but I would go back... don�t worry Bob!

If he took delivery of his new SB3 at 2030, I doubt he was out racing the next day - think IKEA kitchen - took us a day to put ours together!
