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!

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 
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.Catigale wrote:Read closely..

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.Catigale wrote:These kids today dont know how good they gots it....

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.

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
