Well I say agreed, Doddsy Musto jockey manages to piss it in and still come
up with race victories... Even leaving the start last, having to do turns at the
gybe...

There is therefor a third essential skill set to master..


3)Mastery of Handicap Banditry..

Has it ever occoured to you that he may be so much better than the rest that he can afford a few cock ups and still thrash you?

I certainly wouldn't rate Mustos as much of a Handicap bandit, frankly.

But then, how could anyone be better than GRF?

He is way better than us, he ought to be, I seem to recall he did an
Olympic campaign as a younger chap, but he's vice commodore sailing
and I'm the one having to sail off a 915 handicap with a boat everyone else
sails at 935..

So maybe the case of altered perception as to who the better sailor is?

Edit: there were mutterings in the changing room on sunday about
making me do the v.c sailing job have a guess what PY Doddsy will be on
next season.
