rupert, surely the quote about number of bikes applies to you with boats! LOL

anyway isnt one of the joys of forum threads is the way they go off on a tangent.

things i like about sailing dinghies;

the people, the clubs, the boats, all raceing( handicap and class) in fact i love EVERYTHING about sailing dinghies. Smile Smile Smile Smile


It wasn't a complaint! I love reading about all these hitec bikes, especially as my bike is a 2ndhand lady's "mountain" bike...

As I household we own more pairs of shoes than boats, I think.
