Hi,
Since I brought it up, - I feel that a report is in order. Winner
of the race was Matt Alcone/Jerry Gilbreath in their boat US1 !
Norwegian Grand Prix, in Arendal is considered to be the greatest
race to win. ( ..stupid he ? I didn't know ! - it's because of the
different sea conditions around the track ) Well, for the first
time an american won, an to everyones surprise, - because he was new
to the track, and he was the only one without a gearbox. ( he
trottled propeller pitch instead, but these sea conditions were not
the best match for that kind of prop. ) Ok, now You know - and I
can go back to my servo stuff.
