Fred E Hood, Spinnaker, S. 23, Storm, Approx 30 X 30 X 15 on 2040-parts.com
San Diego, California, US
I bought a windsurfing board and sails in bags and "lo and behold" this sail was in there. I spoke to someone who sails and described it: he said it sounds like a heavy weather kite sail (storm?) consistent with S.23 Storm, which is written at the top. Somewhere there is a patch which says "Fred E Hood" Marblehead, I think 5644. There is a rust spot on the right side, as pictured, and a small patch maybe 3"x3" on the left, depending, of course which side you are looking at. I paced it at 10, which, I bet is 30' up each side, and the bottom is about 15 1/2, or there abouts. I have no idea how much bulge this thing has. I'll put it in a Home Depot box, about 16x16x13, I think. It weights about 16lbs, giving myself a pound or two for the box. (I can number the times I've paid the shipping!). Everything is consistent with age, as is, where is, la di da. P.S. Santana 23? Whatever

Two LaFerraris test at Fiorano Circuit
Tue, 17 Sep 2013We don't need to say much about this video of two Ferrari LaFerraris testing at the Fiorano Circuit in Italy --caught by spy videographer extraordinaire Marchettino --except for “turn it up to 11.” In fact, we recommend you use a headphone-to-RCA converter and plug it in to the loudest stereo you have. That's the only way you can truly appreciate the Italian-opera wail coming from the 963 hp, 6.3-liter V12 as it boogies around the 1.8-mile, 12-turn test track. Marchettino said the camouflaged car must have a different exhaust because it sounded so much louder.
