Only with the boat, not the horizon or the team's inter-spacial aura. He's the Zen master of decals. You're too practical. You gotta remember ,they were sailors not flyers as opposed to the other teams that put their decals below the waterline. "I said, now, I said ,pay attention boy!"

These boats sort of have redefined "waterline". Unless it is a substantial difference between the two, industry practice is that the the graphics be installed to align with the shape of the vehicle since that is the largest point of visual reference...It's like aligning a pickup truck wrap with the ground instead of the body lines of the truck (factory light duty pickups have about a 2.5" difference between the front and the back elevations making all of the body lines slope down toward the front). ...but this is what happens when you have too many sailors and engineers making artistry decisions (speaking as one who lives in all three categories ) Jake Kohl

He was big enough that it slowed the boat from 10+ knots to 3 or so. I thought I had a big fish or something. He bounced off the bow, got stuck on the daggerboard and then the rudders. And yes, calamari was on me last night... Last edited by mikekrantz; 02/10/14 11:48 PM.

From day 2 pics: And an Ashby main, instead of the "Mischa Sails". Anybody know what sailcloth that is in the new Ashby's? I haven't seen horizontal lines like that before.
