Do you have any of sundays stuff? Like when "Will" got the bucket of marina water over his head?

[bbprivateer]

No sorry, the folks filiming the battle had to leave before the water fight.

BTW, can you get WILL to email me... I want to see if we can hook up before this years upcoming Scupper.

What are those? really? My best guess is that they may be bass boats running on trolling motors.

[bbprivateer]

there are two types of boats. All the boats are real sailboats, and can be sailed. They have daggerboards.. so they are more than bassboats. The first design (the smaller) is a highly modified D4 -- Complete with all working sails. The 2nd type (the larger) was designed by WJ Tedder, -- a "Westport" class mini-brig. It should be noted that the electric motors provide aux power only, the westport boats can sail fairly well on their own accord.
