Houston, we have lift off!
So I got to Belmont on the 22nd (a couple of days ago), by airplane, train, bus and walking.... Bora,, Bear and Matt had already unpacked the container and put their boats together. Since then we have been furiously working on sorting out the wings. Unfortunately Bear had to leave yesterday for Sydney as he will be sailing on the Volvo 70 Ichiban (ex- Brunel) and wasn't with us when we took the first second generation wing for a spin. Bear's rigging controls all worked beautifully and the wing is an absolute work of art!

Great to see that the guys will get to see what is possible with their wings. Cudos should also go to the Object 2 team (Rob, Rossi, and Magnus) who used their know how to build and educate Bora and Bear. If they have seen farther (or gone faster) it`s by standing on the shoulders of these guys.
