new Assassin pics

I just uploaded the newest Assasin moth pics from Devin to foilermoth. Like always you can download them if you want to.

When I look at those pics I am craving even more for my Assassin.

new foilermoth site is up and running

Today I finally can make an announcement that hasn't got something to do with my driver's license. Most of you have probably already seen it but the new foilermoth website is up and running. The big benefit of owning studdex is that you can always rely on your staffs skills. So our webdesigner Cassian together with our polish developer Mariusz put in some extra hours and have set up the new foilermoth site. Here is a screenie:



The goal was to put enough information on there to make people that are new to the moth curious about this wonderful boat while also advertising my new job as an Assassin reseller for central Europe. In addition I also wanted to share more information about my sailing life and thus incorporated my private blog on foilermoth as well.

I still have got lots of plans for foilermoth.com and thus we will put out new features every time we can spare some time at studdex. One of the first features we added is a picture gallery. I have added all the pics from Kieler Woche 2008 and also added a download button so you can finally have them all. Also if you have got additional moth pics from regattas just send them to me and we will put them on http://foilermoth.com/pics.html so everyone can download them.

So check it out at www.foilermoth.com Feedback is highly appreciated

driver's license nightmare continues

Not much sailing going on at the moment, as there is no wind in Berlin at the moment. It is incredible hot and humid and the leaves are not performing any action whatsoever. To male matters worse I got a call today from the Führerscheinstelle telling me that my later had arrived open and my driver's license was NOT in the envelope anymore. (It took them 2 weeks to even tell me)

Now the situation is as follows: the 4 weeks without a license only start when the Führerscheinstelle has received my driver's license and I am also not allowed to drive right now as I do not have a license. So now I have to order a new license, pay 85€ for it, pick it up, hand it to the Führerscheinstelle and wait for 4 more weeks till I can get it back. Thus by noq I expect to be without a license until middle of August. Awesome, isn't it?

2 more

just like I predicted here are two very good posts about the Europeans. As always Fred has a great long post up (how does he find the time???). The second post is from Mike Cooke who did an amazing job with his Ninja.

the Europeans are over

now the Europeans are over and again it has been a regatta with lots of wind just as I like it. Unfortunately here in Berlin there is still no wind in sight, I actually planned to go sailing with my brother, as he has a day off, has got my car and a valid license. However the forecast says 3-4knots. Sometimes it seems all a bit unfair.

Ian Gotts, a future assassin owner, has sent me the results for the Europeans:

1st Arnaud Psarofaghis Switzerland, Mach 2, 8 points
2nd Simon Payne GBR, Mach 2, 8 points
3rd Eelco Boers Holland, Bladerider, 20 points
4th Mike Lennon GBR, Mach 2 ,27 points
5th Mike Cooke GBR, Ninja, 31 points

It is really impressive to see first and second place having the same amount of points, it must have been a very close race till the end. Also I am quite impressed with Mike Cooke on his Ninja - it must be a really good boat.

Here is the full results list

Here is a list of all the articles about the Europeans:

Eelco Boers
Joe Bousquet

I bet there will be more posts about the Europeans soon.

craving for sailing

I am craiving to go mothing. But as I can't I have made a "video". Actually it is just a cool slideshow of known pictures made with animoto.

Have fun:

Europeans are cancelled

After my last post I have been thinking a lot about what to do with the Europeans. I have decided not to go as it would have been illegal to drive without a license and my lawyer André recommended not to do it. So I am staying in Berlin working and I am really pissed! I hate governments - all of them!
