You are comparing a Porsche 911 S4 (X, Dehler etc. ) with a Saleen or a Mclaren

Not that I have heard of a Saleen or Mclaren, not into sports cars, in fact have only owned one car, a 69 convertible VW bug, otherwise, ALL trucks of different shapes and sizes. Those I know, cars NOT! anyway, think I get the picture. Which is what I figured it would be, ie the X/Dehler are fast in there own right, but still not as fast as the equal sized DC. Probably like comparing a Dehler/X to a Catalina/Hunter. Only the Dehler being the DC as far as difference in speed etc. Could be a hoot! Then again, the new SC37 could be close to the speed of the DC too. Would need specs etc.

Oh well, not that either of the above options will happen any time soon, but one never knows.

Just by chance I came across this video on a Catalan TV network about a rally touring around the isle of Menorca on Pati Catala joined by some Catalan, Spanish, and Belgium Pati sailors.

Lots of talk talk talk and a few sailing shots. There's also an interview with this builder who claims to be the only builder of wood boats remaining. Neat work, anyway.

Hi there!!! Great seeing you too! Long time, yeah!

Next time you come to the old world we can make a race in these Patins: if one of us makes it back he wins... and gets assistance to rescue the other one...

talk to you soon!
