Which models are boomless? Any of the older models? Would the performance be better than the getaway? Or I could keep the getaway for the family and buy a nacra for me. I dont think the old lady will go for that.

The Nacra 5.0 & 5.7 are boomless, the new versions are the 500 & 570. Here is the site
http://www.nacra.us/cat_index.html
I fly ultra long haul routes, Hongkong, Beijing, Shanghai with the odd Narita & South America. I started just after high school & it's paid the bills since '82. I have over 18,000 hrs now, spent 5K of them on Airbus, current ride is the B777.

Wow that is awesome. I dont get to fly that much.
I may get in 10 hours a week on a good week. We have a flying club at work that I can rent a 150, 182 and we are fixing to move one of our Katana's with our 240 FADEC installed in it moved over to the flying club. It is ridiculous how cheap it is for the wet rental of the planes. The fee doesnt even pay for the fuel in the aircraft.

Andrew is the know it all. I just correct him when he is wrong, which sometimes gets me the finger. The only thing I know is how to build the perfect "Painkiller". That is my forte. http://www.thebeachcats.c…=pictures&g2_itemId=5119

That was an awesome weekend, kind of makes my eyes sweat thinking about the old OSYC on the 5-Year Anniversary of Katrina, can't believe 5 years have past since that nasty lady visited.

What is "early Saturday"? You might be mad if I show up at 6am with nothing but a speedo on ready to sail. I did mention I sail in a thong didnt I?
Thats not a problem is it?
Is Saturday good for you Terry?

6am might be early but 7:30 would be OK. Be sure to wear your PFD and trap harness over your thong. -

Well I dont have a trap harness but I did get a new life jacket last week. Its one of those real good orange ones like this.
No, seriously it will probably be around 8:30 or so before I get there if the weather is nice. I think the wife and kid will be staying home. -
