    I have. It's wrong to name the boat, or indeed the present owner. The boat, which is what we're considering, is capable of winning when sailed well, to the point I consider it a bandit. Doesn't mean it cant be beaten, as Irish results demonstrate. Both sets of results are historical, in...

    "And tell that guy to come to the nationals in Poole if he wants to play fair." Without being specific and identifying the boat, here's a sample. ICRA Nationals & Sovereign's Cup, Kinsale: 1 - 1 - 4 - 6 - 3,5 - (7) - 2 - 2 He's a very good sailor, but boat a bandit.

    Renogy DC - DC chargers . . . thoughts??

    I had the same experience as slipstream although not so far from home! After some time negotiating their fault reporting system I got a full refund. Shame it had a lot of promise.
