Hi all,

gee it looks pretty rough <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />. Can anybody tell me what the windspeeds are in Knots this is generaly the measure used in OZ so I can compare it. Launching is allways tuff one up in the conditions shown in photo's.

Must say looks like sloop rig conditions to me, the two ups had better pull their fingers out as the one ups are doing well and will only get better from my experience in lighter winds and flatter water.

Well done to Marcus on the Formula Catamarans Australia Blade, he has only sailed one for a couple of hours on flat water previously. A massive learning curve going on, mind you he is a bog boy <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />, so will be enjoying the conditions <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Obviously Haans is not a little guy either, practice and local knowledge are hard to beat.

Wish I was there <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. Didn't realize it would be so hard to not be involved, keep the info coming <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.
