We were Combs SC. We have completed this race since the beginning with one or two boats but this year circumstances combined to give us a team which was just too small. We started 33 and did hit 23 at one point but by midnight it was just not fun with our three crews having already sailed 5hrs. 5hrs. and 3 hrs. The forecast looked bad and so we retired. I was due to crew in the small hours but have a heavy cold/old age ect was relieved not to do it. I left at about 10am and the weather was looking a bit unsavory then, so it did blow up did it?

Sadly no, i was well behaved (at least for the amount of beer i'd drunk) nasty cains rubbish.  How come you had to retire?  Were you one of the boats that lost the mast?  Saw one go 25 mins from the end . . . gutted 23.5 hours sailing and no finish.

I was sailing for Southport SC luckily wasn't in the boat for the last few hours was well entertaining watching the carnage from the side, and the amount of boats the binned it just before the line and drifted across was unbelievable.

Because tents are all fappy and make me feel insecure. Were you the one swearing and being sick outside my old Astra on friday night? By the way the event was not miserable, that was fun as usual. We had insufficient team and had to retire at midnight, that was the main problem. Who did you sail for?

Why did you sleep in your car at Southport?  I was relatively comfy in a tent like everyone else,

Ticko! bloody Ticko! Just watch it Jimco. I will get Isabelleoco on to you. One presumes that you are a wild colonial boy with your sliding seat and your "easy buttocks". The day gets worse.

Hey Ticko, In australian all names are abbreviated to a single syllable, although you can add an optional O on the end. OK mate?

Any problems I have with my identity,my dear BNS, are partially due to my lack of computer intelligence  and partly due to having just returned from a dreadful Southport 24. I wish to day to be grumpy. I also have a cold and have slept in a car for two nights. No one gives me any respect. I did dance with a wild young girl on friday night (Southport) but she soon gave up as I can only dance (wildly) for 1 min. then sit down for 10, with oxygen. Mind you it did embarass the two of my children who were there so that is one good thing.

Defn of a Skiff

 

A type of boat that no-one can really classify, It's probably fast in single hull terms, it probably has large righting moment, it probably planes and it probably has a Spi.
