I don't suppose we even need to ask how you did... Do you give that Cal about 15 seconds?

Andy - TSU is a wonderful light air boat! Her favorite wind is 5 - 7 knots...

Derek... We'd love to sail with and against you. I know you can make that beauty fly...you'd motor us to wind in heavy air with that fin but light air levels the field... we love 5kts and below.
