A big welcome to our new members Patrick Miller of New Zealand and Steve
Nichols of Australia.
>From the time I realized that the Swift Solo class was going to take off,
dreams of sailing another world championship in Australia have never left me.
The 505 World Championship in Toronto Australia was simply the best time I've
ever had (1976--no Greg, we didn't have problems with the dinosaurs). In
addition to warm water and great sailing, the Kiwis and Aussies simply know
how
to have a good time that's hard to match anywhere else.
A couple of boats isn't a strong presence but most of us realize what
happens when other sailors see Swifts sailing. Remember, 14 months ago that
only
two Swifts were sailing.
Best regards,
Bram
