Apparently 'its like no other sailboat on the market'

Jeez ya think  

Jim may have a point tho.  For all you southern dwelling types, when your beaches get packed out in summer sail that little baby round anchor just off the beach and laugh at the slowly reddening crowds from Birmingham who have popped to the sea for the Bank Hol weekend.  Mind you you'll have to head off from your launch pint with a couple of weeks to spare...but hey!!

 

edit: think there may be a freudian slip in there somewhere!

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

Owain, its all coming together now, Charlie has re rigged it (with loads of bailing twine) and when the boat was measured he realised that the mast is 4" to low (after speed repaired it) Hence why it sailed so badly and was hard to crew in, and we all know how much 4"'s is dont we, my misses says its the differance to a ood or bad night???1!!! dont get it though... answers on a postcard
