We was spoiled last year with Phills reports from Zandvoort and expect no less this time around <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Looking at the entries, there are many there who I know for sure are literate <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm actually leading the race <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> with Chris Field and Tom Taylor following. Now I'm going to stop gloating as it will all be different next weekend. Don't mention the downhaul!! ahhhhhhhhh <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I feel as if I'm being moderated as this is the second time I have failed to add an attachment!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Attached Files 153526-GBR39race6.jpg (260 downloads) Last edited by MarkP; 07/31/08 07:55 AM.

I attached a picture to a post I made last night, so the forum software also works. Which kind of indicates that the problem might sit somewhere between the back of the chair and the keyboard <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

But you were correct, it was me who was at fault as I have subsequently turned down the quality and it has now loaded. Last edited by MarkP; 07/31/08 07:59 AM. MP*MULTIHULLS

A pity there are no Vipers present. No UK APHC dealer near Mumbles? We will be arriving on Wednesday. I know Geert and Joanna will already be present. Any other crews that will go for a test sail on Tuesday?

Gill Gill, I will have my laptop with me, if you have a suitable data-cable (I have a Garmin unit with a round 12 pin plug) and have a data cable for it. Do you have a data cable for your unit? The club has WiFi so we should be able to download a Driver if we need one. Simon F16 - GBR 553 - SOLD I also talk sport here

I have all the software on my pc, so we should be able to transer if if necessary. I have a Garmin GPSII (old :-) ) Do you know if we need any paperwork for the catamaran to cross the border between France and the UK?

If someone wants it, i also do have an old garmin gps 12, just don't have an extra watertight case for it. See you soon, will start driving tommorow. Geert
