Stop that. You'll go blind.

Unless, of course, you're talking about one of these....

I just instaled one a few weeks ago and am anxious to find out what angle of heel I have been sailing at. We load it up and sail it hard and haven't been knocked down yet! :macm:

I've went right off the scale on mine boom dragging in the water more than a few times pretty exciting when it happens standing at 90 degrees on the inboard cockpit seat edge if your not strapped in and she comesback up to fast your going o/b not recommended I figure just maybe the next time she might not come up if the sails get to wet :o about 20-25 is perfect for the mac19 I'd say she really takes off around their

I liked the bit about how "If you run a smaller engineering or technical/scientific group, the 2200 may be all the computing power you'll ever need". Key word: EVER.

At least you had 1's. We used to dream of 1's. We only had 0's, and to get one of those we had to lick the road clean for 26 hours a day whilst being stabbed with pointy sticks.

I'm sorry, but you guys are just too young to remember the good old days of computing. I remember when the transistor was invented. The first computers I worked on used Vacuum tubes, invented by Thomas Edison.

By the way, Kevin, were did you get that picture of me from?

I dont like to sail much over 20 or so . In the 10 years I.v had my X I found this is a good spot..Had it "pinned" a few times, and although it always come back with no worries except for having to clean up all the stuff that fell down below.seemed a bit much. when in doubt, let it out
