No boats with full canopies.

If it has a full canopy, the top will have to come off.

I'm gonna be updating the website in the next day or so to make this clearer.

That's a US1-38 with a cabin on it. Pascoe rigged a few of those in the 90's. I think they ran Sabres on Arnesons.

Thought that you all would like to know that we now have over 40 prospective "runners" for the RB 2008 and more showing interest every day. Absolutely amazing for only six weeks.
Some still haven't shown their hand yet though.
Pressure, what pressure?

Jon,
The "Hairy driver" on your Toleman/Carlsberg pack on ebay is "Smitty" the American driver Ted Toleman employed.
I Think his full name was Harold Smith - I gave him a lift from the Red Funell terminal, to So'ton Rly Stn once, when he was travelling back from Cowes to somewhere.

Martin, Yeah, I know it was Harold 'smitty' Smith, I think it was the seller who said they didn't know who he was.

Are you aware that he died a couple of years back?

That's a pity, although I understand those sentiments that's for sure.
