Memphis, TN | Pete, do they suck all of the time, or just sometimes?
I have found, if the boat is not balanced right(ie your weight not being in the correct place) going downwind I will hear gurggling myself...
To me, that usually means I have my weight to far BACK in light winds going downwind.
Again, that's what the gurgling sounds to me means...

Northfield Mn | Karl and Dan? That's a lot of tall... "ballast" I believe is the word you're looking for JW. "Man-meat" would also be acceptable. (edit) We were crusin' at Tradewinds when the wind was up. Get Dan's bulk hanging off the transom and we could go like hell. We really need to work on some stuff, but all in all we're a decent team, and sync up well. I think in the more moderate winds not requiring the hulk, I'll trap going downwind while helming. Should give us a nice middle gear. | | | Re: F16 National Championship Regatta

| Everybody waits until the last minute. Final tally should be 15-20.

Clermont, FL, USA | Even if I could bring an F18 to the F16 Nationals, I don't think I would.  It's not just the F16 Nats, it's open to other fleets as well just like last year.

Long Beach, California | Actually, I did NOT know that. I ASSumed it was a one-design event. That's why I was baffled at the question.
Yes, I am sailing F16.

Sebring, Florida. | It's been about 10 below "average" this winter. I know, still about 50 warmer than Minn, but still...cold for us. This week it's supposed to be in the mid 70's, hopefully by Apr. 9 it -should- be in the low 80's, but it's been an unusually cold winter, so it could be in the 70's. http://www2.tbo.com/weather/local/7-day-forecast/
