sell it (there is a shortage of second hand contenders) then buy another
newer, prettier one - if I can find one - ready for the autumn/winter, thus
not having to pay a berthing fee and doing the class a favour, or do I
keep it to be on the safe side in case I can't get another one?Or should I
sue RS for the naff main cleat and simply get them to give me an RS100
for my pains..
Nah, sell the contender, get well, get some
nice attractive physiotherapist to massage it for you (I mean your
wrist ) and then buy a Musto skiff.


I repeat about the physiotherapist... forget the wrist. Feeling better
now?

 

What they going to massage then??

And if you could do something about the Euro rate to make the Schappi's more affordable.

Remember, Mark, that I still read this forum even if I don't post any longer. If anyone in the family is due for a new boat, it should be me, don't you think?

I do have that very much in mind Mark.  I do want to upgrade, but I don't want to be left without a boat for next year. 

And yes, I do like blue.

I think you'll have to wait until after the election for that to improve.

And wing wang mtfu, see a therapist (physio) and stop being such a woman.
