It is great to see Michael Coffman on a Taipan again. Haven't heard from him for a while !

I think 9 boats will be the number of F16's that will come out. That is unless Constantine Serementis or Jeffrey Woodard each load their Taipan up in Maryland and Atlanta and drive down. Ricks chances of coming out have just decreased due to family issues, happy ones I may add. And we have have no more Florida based F16 sailors who are free to come out. Robi, Tim, Kirby, etc all have commitments elsewhere.

We may just get another boat from outside of Florida to attend but these show-ups are always uncertain till the very last moment.

So it looks like 9 boats will about right, with some considerable luck we'll make it a nice 10 boats.

Seeing more F16's attend then A-cats will be tricky as I expect a few last minute A-cat additions and our chances of growing passed 10 boats are pretty remote. On the sunny side of things though, we'll have more F16 sailors at the event then A-cats sailors. Currently the score is 14 to 9 in our favour ! Especially with the age advantage we have in comparison to the more senior A-cat sailors; we'll be assured a win if it ever comes to a bar room fight !


I think I said this all the times before: A nice mix of boats : 4 taipans, 3 Blades, 2 G-cats
