Hi,   After witnessing the charged up atmosphere in Sailing Anarchy forums I got to thinking more about the racing side (being a long term cruiser hopeful), and from what I have seen and tried out with the harriette and elementarry, I would probably investigate a cantarry idea if I was to try and conquer the competition around hee. The texel dish boat never came about. Who would be looking at competing rather than cruising? Or  otherwise something like a big elementarry like the boat harrigami and it's small racing ww hull. How do you decide what size limit and what races could you enter.   Doug Elementarry cruiser --- On Wed, 18/3/09, Rob Denney <harryproa@gmail.com> wrote: From: Rob Denney <harryproa@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [harryproa] video - harriette To: harryproa@yahoogroups.com.au Date: Wednesday, 18 March, 2009, 2:20 PM Footage looks ok, got your hull flying. Can't download it to the mac as the software won't allow it, despite what the man in the shop said. Going to see him this afternoon, may return the camera, but if i do, will put it on a memory stick first. Fixed the rudders, may try them this weekend. regards, Rob On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 7:21 PM, Doug Haines <doha720@yahoo. co.uk> wrote: > Hi Rob, > > How did the footage look?
