Thanks for the results alan.

Interesting to see that 39 sailors dropped out before the end - I guess that they started, but quickly realised that they weren't going to win - Just like a typical race!

Iain

You can come over and mix up some sand/cement for me. Shovelling a couple of tons of ballast should sort you out.

Neat, simple survey alan.fuller - Look forward to seeing the results.

TT - Who's Keeley Hazell?   - Ah! Just Googled her... It's THAT Keeley!  I was shocked to discover that I have the makings of a keelboat sailor. Not good.

In response to survey ID 9489274 (I truely don't know who you are) 
Yes I will publish a link to the results of the survey back on this thread of Y&Y.

So far in less than 24 hours I have had 100 responses, a good starting point, and some interesting comments. Responses mainly from hiking dinghy sailors and virtually no keel boat sailors (not that surprised given this forums main participants).

Keep the input comming, I will keep the survey open a couple of weeks and then analyse the results.

To save you going back a page, the link to the survey is here.

Try using a big elastic band or cycle inner tube as a resistance.

You can hook it around your foot or chair leg while watching the telly. Great for forearms, wrists etc.
