Anders,

I was surprised to see you didn't figure in the results - I take it things weren't going well for you?

Ouch! At least you recovered everything. A guy I race against lost everything behind the rear boom when his split.

Better luck to you next year B) How deep is your rudder below the transom - that pic makes it look very deep.

Thanks everyone! The Competition was tough. Four quaulifiying rounds then the top eight boats race four more times. No "easy" heats here.

The X-1 is still in the proto stages. The changes are not extreamly visual.

Jkell of Norway got the Silver with his SGX and Keith Burgess of the UK got the Bronze with his SGX.
