Really, Hansen quoted you $1500 for the sail?

yes, track mount, for a cut down Swift mast (6.3m) and a 2.60m boom. 10.75sqm, Demension polyant PX05 windsurf sail material, prepreg battens. around $1500, figure I should jump on it before he changes his mind

no, I don't think chris is Big OZ but its funny that doug does...and I must admit that some of it, though it's tasteless, made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair.........

Take a long look at the posts of Doug Lord over the years and share with us, the numbers of individuals who have found him distasteful and offensive. This is especially true for the guys in the Moth foiling community, of which I am not a member.

so I took some time, went over all the posts I could find from the last 4 years on here, Sailing Anarchy, and the US and AUS moth forums.....and the number is 107,231,432 ..........but I'm not one of them, these foil threads would be nothing without him, and the nonfoiling threads that he tries to turn into foiling threads would be nothing without him either. take this thread for example, if it wasn't for Doug there would only be like one page....is this still the foiling 18' thread? i'm so confused.


*****Doug, do you have any F-box pictures, because I still can't find any....thanks*****

Thankfully, Doug does not post on the AUS Moth forum.

never saw one with wings on it, Buddy Melgus is turning in his grave, and no stays on the mast....good for if you crash, nothing to give you brusis.
would love to take that warlock for a spin. does it look a little heavy?

Yeah but its in the hull shape and the way she hits the water. Moth scows had wings for along time, blardy uncomfortable things more often than not!
