Well if you think of what a offshore cat looks like, well mine is gonna look nothing like that, is gonna av a couple of hulls now though.
Remember keep it light weight!!!!!
Suppose it may not matter as as serious as we are now i dont think many will make it to the finish, but aving a good laugh is what its all about.
Blinddog may what to come in at this point and tell us his idea,hello Blinddog!!is there anyone there?
I believe Tricky could be thinking about it.
