I have been watching your progress with more than passing interest. Congratulations on your speeds so far.

You mentioned on the Forum that you are interested in coming to the US for the World Championship in late March. We would love to have you come however please understand that access to the playa for general sailing or speed runs will be limited when racing is going on. The only exception is if the wind is too heavy to race or in the unlikely circumstance that we get 10 races for all classes before the end of the week. I suggest coming a week early to get set up and, if we have the right wind, try for the record. We can supply observers and support for a record attempt. There is information on the regatta on www.nalsa.org. If you have more specific questions, let me know. We are planning to have the Duck there. It will be interesting to see how the two yacht�s compare on the same surface.

Good luck with your program and we hope to see you on the playa this spring.
