I've learnt something today - always wondered what the "+ button was for.

isn't it amazing, I swear I've never even seen the + button until this moment!

A Sonic boom was recently recorded near Swansea followed by a vertical hard landing close to Mumbles

Mud and / or stones trapped in the casing can often cause lifting keels to jam when drying out.

Let's hope those stilts don't end in tiger feet or you'd have to get the rocks off before pulling them up

Thanks, I'll have a Scotch and dry ginger.

If its Scotch a single malt please otherwise a pint of bitter.

The forum is a bit of fun for all of us. However I've seen serious questions spin off into la la land simply because few peeps have the patience to read more than a sentence or two. Add a few G&T's into the mix and it can all get a bit ridiculous.

(edited to add) Just having read the previous responses on the page that my reply is on I can confirm that la la land is alive and well and not vacated its home on YBW.

Blimey! Not often I get to prove I'm right

That photo looks like those WWII ones where the censor has blotted out the rigging whilst disguising some top secret gizmo.

An A22 is a top secret gizmo.

I would like to thank Lakesailor for settling the discussion once and for all.

You plonkers. That's clearly a Foiling Andersen 22 rounding the downwind gate in a typical east coast regatta.

Are the fittings on a Sonic boom compatible with a Z-spars one?

I doubt it. You must have a Sonic Boom fitted to your Anderson 22. Any other inferior brand just induces too much drag and slows the boat down to ordinary speeds.

OK, this has to be the YBW equivalent of Godwin's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law)

Surely you are not comparing the Anderson 22 to H... Oops, I nearly validated Godwin's Law.

Are you sure? I thought Foiling A22s couldn't be photographed as a camera had not yet been invented that was fast enough in the field. Even those lab cameras that use to capture bullets struggle.

Was the Anderson 22 designed by Oliver Lee-Shaw, or am I getting confused?
