it&#8217;s the kite Winn (layline) had made so he could manage PHRF in GA that lost him his dealership rights.  Jerome/Philleas got so upset they wouldn&#8217;t let him sell boats (even though he NEVER said anything about it online) and they even went so far as to mandate him removing it from his own boat [...]]]></description>

		<title>DSS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[saw this in a yachting world a while ago, but now it also popped up on sailinganarchy.com&#8230;  The DSS guys have a horizontal foil that increases lift on the low side reducing heel.  This in turn means less lead and or more sail area as well as a more stable ride.  Well they now have [...]]]></description>

		<title>LinQ CQ-6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[found this on SA.com the other day, but they&#8217;ve finally updated their website with some shots and a video and the video&#8217;s on youtube as well (so I can share it here).  This looks like an open with a refreshed hull (chines) as well as a carbon rig, slightly bigger main (228sf -vs- 200sf on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Melges launches the first 20!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well the first melges 20 is out sailing.  Not sure where this is even (somewhere in Asia).  But the first boat looks promising.  Although it&#8217;s not much different than a SB3, but SB3s are nice boats, and this looks to be a more modern take on the same idea.  It&#8217;ll be very interesting to see [...]]]></description>

		<title>k650</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another cool new design I ran into online is the k650.  It&#8217;s very V70 looking IMHO which is never a bad thing.  They&#8217;ve also got a chine to reduce wetted surface.  They also claim the keel is sans bulb to reduce wetted surface area, but I can only imagine a bulb wouldn&#8217;t be much different [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mach 6.5</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another interesting boat I stumbled upon online.  I can&#8217;t even find any videos of it on youtube and their photos aren&#8217;t very good.  But it&#8217;s a very interesting little boat.  It&#8217;s similar to the open except that is has chines aft to reduce wetted surface (a good thing).  The keel is also very interesting [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Tuesday night race&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Raced sluff for the first time last night.  It was the last race of the spring series.  Yarrow offered to help me as Dad’s “stuck” delivering avalanche right now.  We haven’t gotten our real rating yet from PHRF (they’re having a meeting for us this week) so they gave us a provisional [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solo open&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We normally sail Tuesday nights, but I couldn&#8217;t last night so I went tonight. I also didn&#8217;t manage to track down crew in time (part of the reason we wanted a smaller boat) so I decided to sail alone. I ended up ramp launching the boat alone (first time ramp launching, and first time sailing [...]]]></description>

		<title>the sportboat spreadsheet.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been keeping a spreadsheet with the stats on the sportboats I&#8217;ve been looking at as well as some reference boats (our old boats, know other boats on the water). Some of the guys on sailinganarchy.com also have sheets so we started sharing and combining sheets. I&#8217;m posting the file here as a better way [...]]]></description>
