Newsletter
We have decided to bring back the i550 NEWSLETTER, "The Following Wave," now that we are working full-time on all things i550. Many people still request the latest copy, although we put out only one a long time back. This time, it will be a quarterly to be much more manageable. So, if you do &/or still want to be on the NEWSLETTER pdf email list, please respond to the email below. It's FREE & that way you won't get spammed if you don't want it.
First one will be emailed July 15th. Also accepting updates & pix for the map. Blue = Hull License, Red = Build in Progress, Green means your boat has launched. Looking forward to changing many dots green by the first newsletter as lots of you are close & will soon enter the hallowed halls of the Green Dot Club.
AND Don't Forget the:
APRIL NO FOOLIN' Meranti Plywood Kit SPECIAL!
Kit special on all versions for the month of April: $2100USD + shipping within North America.
Shipping quote good for one week (Fuel prices changing daily) until purchase & will remain at that level until shipped. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.
May extend this incredible deal, may not.
(SB18, the slower, most comparable, plywood kit currently $4,100 plus shipping.)

Watershed Announcements
Matt Broughton has graciously agreed to host Watershed Sailboats Quarterly Newsletter. This means we can include much more content, and the curious and those already drinking the Koolaide, can have the newsletters archived in a convenient site. Matt will clearly mark a separate archive section, so it will be abundantly clear that this our commercial Newsletter “i550 Following Wave” and not part of the i550.org independent forum. For anyone who has signed up for the newsletter thus far, we will send out a reminder email.Because of the new plan sets and the opportunity to be posted at .org, the newsletter schedule has been modified to start 8/1/2011.
Visit http://www.i550sportboat.com/ to see the new six different i550 Plan Versions we now offer. Prices have gone up, as we are going to sell the whole 100+ page plan set together as one unit, so each builder can take their time in deciding which version they plan to build for each hull license purchased.
We also would like to hear from builder’s progress reports for the Newsletter and if your blue dot needs to be turned red or your red dot needs to go green for the map. Please send pix, or let us know if it’s ok to use content from your blog.
Also, we want to include “Class News,” so if each class would write up about 6 paragraphs on what your class is up to, like The Upcoming Epoxy Cup, The New i550 Wiki & we are always interested in what great new video or sailing extraordinaire & R&D the Aussies are cooking up. (Just suggestions).
Cheers As Always,
Susan & Tim

Hey, even administrators get a vacation from time to time.

As the situation exists, yeah, actually I am. My laptop has been screwed up and soon it will be up and running (hopefully hours from now)

The big tent flap is always open, we're looking forward to hearing from Y'all.
