Well said Klemmy
The point seems to be being missed world wide
There is no value in the speed of all 14s increasing, even if the cost is a
mere precisely US$255.54 (my ruff exchange rate 510 australian dollars) and
how long were they wonderful, beating the soon to be foiled non foiled boats
"and it shot me to the front group in the race before it broke." I guess
thats another US$255.54 to add to the original US$255.54 to hide from my
wife.
And I think you meant throw.
