Thanks to Jorma Ojama for taking these pictures from the third Finnish IOM ranking event last Saturday.
Olof Ginström was sailing his new FIN-44, the first of three Noux Mk2 designs that will hit the water this summer. The boat worked OK, but the rig still needs some trimming to get up to full speed. I should have my own boat ready in 1-2 weeks.
I've just found this plugin for Firefox, which lets you type a DOI directly into the address field, and firefox resolves that into a URL. Nice!
The 2007 IOM Worlds will be hosted by YCPR in Marseille/France 13-20 October 2007.
Are you going? Please join the discussion and let everyone know! There is a very limited amount of places for this event, so people in the waiting line definitely want to know how many entries there are from each country!
Jari has made an enclosure around our cnc-mill, and that allows us to use a liberal amount of flood coolant. Here's a short video with some tests in aluminium.
Before you run to the shop and get an Opti-BF20 of your own please remember that our machine is seriously modified. We put a new table on it with linear guides, we're using ballscrews, and the stock spindle and spindle motor are replaced.
