Hello and welcome Mr. Fodder!

Hi cncracer and welcome.

Does your name have any reference to CNC machining and/or bike racing? I do a bit of both myself.

My Dad is from Fayetteville, NC, but I've only ever been there once for a weekend. Can't say I saw much of it. I'm one of the several English Atheists here. Some are even as old as you

Scissorlegs:
The CNC is a boat in my case. The wife and I like to race sail boats, and the CNC 44 is what we raced the most.  It is a real rush as you approach the start line with that much power coming just from nature.
Fayetteville is about 40 Min south of me. If this area keeps growing it will become a suburb or the triangle.

CNC44... had to google that.


Is this the one? What a beauty! I've done a bit of yacht racing, but never on anything as pretty as that. I find it exhausting and very uncomfortable (and I'm neither unfit or particularly precious), but I can understand the thrill of competitive racing. These days I'm happy dinghy-racing with my son, and really looking forward to playing on my brothers new double-trapeze catamaran. Now that's a thrill!

Hey CNCRacer, I am also a newbie and also a very long term regatta freak, though with dinghys not big ole boats.

May we both prosper here.
