Please allow me to clarify a small point to possibly save you
some time if you feel compelled to flame me. When I wrote:

I was tired at the time but thinking of European 49er sailors and
not implying me or 49er sailors in my region. This comment was
based on conversations which other Australians and I have had
with various Euro 49er sailors who are looking for a break but
enjoy sailing too much to just stop (eg. Finnish, French, German,
Danish etc.). It might help you pick what you find interesting
from that message if the main thing you keep in mind about me is
that I really like the fun, competition and low cost of small
development classes and I thought your class has a good
opportunity to keep proving a point.
