		<title>The Flying Sled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since we checked in on our fiberglass and carbon guru who&#8217;s spending way too much time building a huge jet powered Blackbird r/c model plane.  He&#8217;s getting really close to flying the first prototype and instead of fitting it out with $8,000 worth of jet engines, he&#8217;s mounted up a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greenhorn Regatta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been discussing ways to get people into the sport of catamaran sailing.  A quick look around at our regattas shows that we&#8217;re a pretty experienced bunch of sailors - some say that this fact alone is intimidating to a new sailor and is part of the reason our fleets aren&#8217;t growing.
We&#8217;re starting to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Speed Debate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been called to the mat over at The Horses&#8217;s Mouth  for being a little critical of the sailing speed records set by windsurfers in the purpose built ditch and not in open water in France.  An older video of a heavily reefed ORMA 60 trimaran reaching with a windsurfer at relatively the [...]]]></description>

		<title>To the Carbon and Concrete Doubters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve received some feedback in the form of doubt with respect to the recent project of the carbonfiber strips reinforcing the basement wall.  To those folks, I offer up this video, assembled by Fortress Stabilization Systems as proof of concept. (If I can figure out how to embed a raw video file again).

		<title>The 50 Knot Barrier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things are REALLY heating up in the quest to breach 50 knots average over a 500 meter course powered by nothing but the wind.  There are four major camps that have vessels each with their own unique design aspects.  These guys have been working hard for the last couple of years to iron [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carbon and Concrete</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I get too deep into this one, no, I&#8217;m not crazy and yes, this will really work!  The engineering behind it is sound and there&#8217;s evidence of it&#8217;s success elsewhere!
The problem: A good friend of mine recently purchased a fixer-upper house and knew that there was some problems with the 60&#8242; front basement [...]]]></description>

The French team, Team Kalix, Eric Proust and Romain Motteau win the event this morning with a score of 257 points and by finishing first at the last two checkpoints (earning 25 points each).
