Thanks, Tyler. I'm still working on dialing her in and learning to sail her. There's a lot that went into this project.

Drat!!! I can't come. Kids are in school that week. I'd love to come and try my luck against Paintboy. Here's a video of my new boat, that started life as a Potter. As some of you know, Jim Antrim and I conspired to put a retractable bulb keel, taller 7/8th new rig on her..... and a retractable bow sprit so we can fly up to 300 SF of asymm. Here's a video of her flying the Code Zero. We're doing 6.8 knots through the water in 6-8 kts of wind on a deep reach. We're moving so fast that the apparent wind is so far forward that we're trimmed for close reaching. http://youtu.be/2USDP3HJbns Sorry, boyz and girlz, couldn't help bragging on my new boat.... I've been working on it for 8 months now!!!!
