    No, Ex Yacht Manager.

    I grew up on and around yachts and my father is an instructor.

    Have you heard of a small town named "West Kirby"? At the west part of Liverpool.
    I have lived there for six months last year.
    In front of my host family's house is an artificial lake called "Marine Lake"
    And I saw lots of people playing yachting there. Event like the world remote yachting competition is held there also.

    If you can make a remote yacht by your own, how about build some and selling on web store like Ruten or Yahoo Kimo  in Taiwan?

    Hi Jon
    There's an authorized dealer in Taipei who is going to ship a new one down next week. Unfortunately I will be off to LA on Sunday for 3 weeks. The local american catholic priest has agreed to look after it in 'the grounds'. A blessing would be good too. If you're around on my return it would be great to have help on the champagne launch!
    Going to kenting with my wife on sat to see if there are any like boat down there. Supposed to scuba dive but think the weather ain't good.
    Cheers
    Roger
    Ps what's race tack:)
