    Hee Shockwave 40;

    my name is wim vandesande, I am 43 years old and livving in Belgium. I am the owner-driver of Shamrcok, a 1985 X-1 ton which participated in the admirals cup of 1985 under name of EURO as one of the member of the danish Cup team. I was wondering whether you would have some pictures of the Danish team in 1985? Also the whole 1985 cup is my interest. Please mail me at wim.vandesande@pandora.be and please take a look at our blog at www.shamrocksailing.blogspot.com since we are still racing that old baby. May i also congratulate you with your blog, I love it! Wim

    Agree ...

    Look at the waterline ! R.Humphey kept a huge margin to calculate its ballast weight...
    May be enough to have from a one ton rating to a Two Ton !
