Andy, Will you be joining us in Vancouver this year? R/Jay Resepectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas Save the whales, collect the whole set. -----Original Message----- Jay, Hugh thanks for the corrections. Sorry, The 30 Knot was just the record in a moth, not all sail. But a kiteboard aint no boat :) Although fluid dynamics foil wise, interesting as well. I cant even image 50 kts on a kite...I think the foil on the kite is larger that the moth sail, plus it's higher. I dont know if any one has ever attempted to sail a Moth in 50 knot winds, like at Lüderitz. Jay, thanks for the SW list. -a Jay K.
