"Smoke de Herb Down Wind"

Name of my next boat?  Done!

Justin is notorious for bailing on a race if he's having too much fun on the leeward leg. He just blows by the leeward mark and keeps on going. Kris Overby did that at last years SA regatta in Dago. I said 'where ya goin?' he was planing off the breeze and said 'SAILING' with a huge smile on his face !!

I thought that was strictly a Cali technique...   :)

Yeah, but you need a script for it :-D

At St Pete one year, in the early days of the class, Kay and I went way beyond the downwind layline riding a full on planing puff. When Stu from Sailing World asked us what we were doing....our reply was "Viper sailors never knowingly let winning get in the way of having fun"
