Looks like the forecast is for 5 - 10mph winds out of the east for Sun -
Scott, I can bring an extra T180 or SF 240 if you want to try out that black cat.
Bill, I have the .187 collet for ya - I had it last time I just forgot to give it back.
I would defiantly make sure both recovery boat batteries are charged up. I'll bring an extra just in case. No B - Tow this week.
I'm bringing;
P Mono
LSO
LSH
STD
PTD
1/8 hydro
if I can get to it.Comment

My boat has the large rudder, we'll see how it works. I think the trouble with these cats turning ability lye's in the sponson configuration. I've noticed that cats with flat bottom sponsons corner better due to what I call the skipping effect. Kind like a flat stone skipping across the water. MC and MG handle in the corners great, both have flat sponsons. In fact I can corner at WOT sometimes when the wind is not a factor. The sponsons on the DF cat are not at a flat plane parallel to the water surface, so instead of skipping, they cut and dig the outside sponson in the corner. I see Ben has a new 41" Cat on the way with flat sponsons that I'm looking at. It will probably be my new Q Boat.Comment

Explain this one then? I think it has a lot to do w/ the rudder. that little tfl blade just isnt enough to lock the a$$ end down. I think we are going to see a big difference w/ daves hard work.Attached FilesComment
