Arrival... We're here, but not 'there' yet!
Here I come live from Container Base 1 at the Walvis Bay Yacht Club, Namibia.
We collected a heap of parts on our way to the airport including the new rudder from FORMAPLEX (thanks again guys. Class). Simon from COSWORTH dropped off our new improved wiring loom at Heathrow with minutes to spare. He's done it so often that I don't get worried about it anymore. The point is that he does it.
It's always a little hectic just getting to this stage and it doesn't seem to stop once we are here.

All set to go, all 'plates' spinning!
Flights to Walvis Bay are booked for Friday. Two of us will head down ahead of the rest of the team to get the base set up at the Walvis Bay Yacht Club. We have to find accomodation and get the transport sorted out and of course we have to get VESTAS Sailrocket 2 fully rigged and ready in anticipation of her new foils arriving a week later.

Finally, the big leap off the drawing board...
Hi all,
I'm happy to say that the new foil design is currently in transition from the drawing board to reality.
It has been a long, frustrating but necessary path to this point.
We have had to go back to school on this one.

My head hurts. An Overdue update from Speed School!
Hi all, I've tried to write this update a few times now but have either written a 'novel' that even had me confused or, things were in such a state of flux that the key points were hard to pin-point for the purpose of a summary.
Still, it's not right not to let you know where we are at.
