Not at all, mon brave. Crewing c'est la meme chose le monde over. Chaque fois que le crew screws up, il sent un sharp twinge a la derierre de sa tete. Courtesy de Moi!

Nah, we sail our raft like that all the time (mainly due to lobster pots and kick-up rudders). Of course, we don't have balance to worry about so it stops us getting bored! Eh Piere?

Superb.  You'll just blend into the general ambiance.  Good "volume" and area as well, for those involontary stomach evacuation moments so prevalent when sailing a Musto Skiff (he says desperately trying to stay on topic). Lucky old Durham.
