You're not trying to torment me are you God? Shouldn't you be in heaven, trying to keep the Cherubim in order? Answering their prayers like.... "Please God make me as brave as GRF so I can sail on the sea one day" |

ey ey ey. im a yottie type person aswell. even though im 16. and they ent all like that. some of us do actually use them for racing. and its a lot more complicated start with lots of big boats than with lots of small ones. im still a dinghy person though. but doing a bit of both is good. |

Do schools not teach people to use capital letters after a full stop nowadays? I think what he meant to say was: Hello. I'm a person who sails yachts as well, even though I am only 16 years of age. They are not all like that, some of us do actually use them for racing. It's a lot more complicated at the start with lots of big boats compared to small ones. I sail dinghies too, I think sailing in a bit of both is good. |

I was considoring going to the show but it sounds like I made the right decision in not going.
I get bored of yachts very quickley. It's nice to go out for a weekend during the summer, but otherwise it's an expensive way to have a few beers and pull bits of string every 25 mins. G.R.F, I would sail on the sea, It's just that i'm yet to find any coastal waters in North London . Edited by Ross |

I do despair of the washing-up bowl boats.
At least in Sainsburys when I buy a washing-up bowl I have a choice of 3 colours.... |

The washing up bowl boats predominate as it is in the first instance a trade show after all. The main customers for dinghies at the show are sailing schools and holiday companies- OK, so the biggies will likely have all their deals for the season done before hand, but the multitude of smaller ones won't. And schools/holiday companies aren't interested into outright speed or competitive fleets, they're more interested in durability and price. And rotomolds win on price and durability, full stop.
