Below is an email and photo's received from Jeff in January, 2002.

Phil,

Some time ago when we spoke or emailed regarding either the unusual design modifications to my Roberts 22 or regarding the recommended rudder design, I recall you indicating you'd like to see some photo’s of it under sail .... will forward these on to you taken from the shore during the delivery, rafted in the reeds, somewhere in a small portion of the start melee (light air log jam ... 308 entries in all !!!)  and from the cliffs during the race.
Unfortunately they were captured from video footage using a lot of zoom and are therefore not the best quality.
From the other picture, you'll see we did OK, especially considering we only had a jury rigged keel cable as it snapped just offshore as we were about to reach Milang the afternoon before the race !!  Would not retract into the well due to the shackle & length of broken cable still remaining on it.

Regards Jeff
