Here is a little photo essay of my trip to Texas where I built a PD racer in two days, sailed in the world championship, and came in third. Last picture shows the order of finish for all of the participants. I was very skeptical of the PD racer but she prooved to be wonderfully stable in high winds and surprisingly fast.
