- Solo Sailor's Dreams Shattered by Head Injury
go
No mere toy for
tooling around town, the Dragster is a muscle-car version
of the two stroke motor scooter, with hydropneumatic shocks and
a
powerful liquid cooled engine that opens to 80 mph (with a bit of
racing
modification). But there's an elegance to this hog: An under-the-seat
hatch
stows your helmet, and the automatic clutch makes the scooter a
breeze
to drive. go

TURBO
Porsche Cars
North America Inc.
Here's a car that can be driven within the speed limit with no more
demand on the driver than a Ford Taurus. Yet, when the Porsche 911
Turbo's 420 hp is unleashed in its full fury, the car screams from
0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 12 seconds
flat. For those who need to know, top end is 189 mph. The water-cooled,
twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter flat Six has 24 valves, variable-valve
lift, and a torque curve flatter than Drew Carey's head. Peak torque
of 413 ft.-lb. happens at 2700 rpm. Since the Turbo is the Porsche
flagship, it's equipped with every known technology—viscous
all-wheel drive, Stability Management, ABS and the available five-speed
automatic/manual Tiptronic S transmission. Porsche's previous-generation
Turbo won a Design & Engineering Award from us in 1996. As a
no-holds-barred exercise in what a small engineering-driven car
company can produce when price is no object, the 2001 Porsche 911
Turbo stands tall, and pretty much alone, and is certainly deserving
once again. buy

Gath
Helmet is the
No 1 choice by virtually all water sports
extremists whether carving the surf or racing across the
lakes and rivers and oceans anywhere on the planet. Gath is widely
used in sailing,
surfing, bodyboarding, kite surfing, wind surfing, wakeboarding,
jet skiing, water skiing, wave skiing, kayaking, canoeing and hydro
foiling.
The Gath Hat is the perfect helmet for taking the abusive crashes
associated with kiteboarding and protecting your head from those
falling masts while out windsurfing

Another innovation that we don't need.
Who you are going to sell this to? Terrorists?
They will buy it right away. Mass murderers? They would love to
have it both for pleasure and hunting. Why wood you need a gun that
fires 180 bullets in less than one-hundred of a second, even if
you are a Police Officer? Is technology supposed to work for Us

It is sleek, contemporary and

America's Cup
Jubilee
On the Prada 12-Metre
course, starting line collisions in two classes forced the withdrawal
of four boats, including Intrepid, the last of the wooden Twelves,
which successfully defended the America's Cup in 1967 and 1970.
No one was hurt in either collision.
In the Modern 12-Metre
Class, Intrepid steered by John Curtin collided head on with Enterprise,
steered by J. F. Jouffray, causing extensive damage to the bows
of both boats. Intrepid was the port tack boat and was required
to steer clear of Enterprise.

Cup 2001 Chicago.
Did you hear about the Bowman on the 40.7 that was knocked out by
the spin pole (damn hot-box people). She was hit by the pole, turned
to face the stern and said to her crew mate "your here to take
over the bow right?" then went out like a light until the paramedics
brought her to on shore. She was taken by ambulance to North Western
Hospital, but here's the kicker, she was back the next day racing
and working the bow. When asked why she came back the very next
day to race her response was "It's my bow, that's what I do".
Bow people are in a league of their own. I wish you must success
with the web-site. Former bowman and still a bowman at heart.

record ended dramatically today at 5:30 a.m. when the port bow snapped off with a loud bang go
