Well that's an interesting Germanicism that didn't make the translation..

The toothpaste 'sets'?

I guess you're talking about that stuff that keeps your dentures in place..

They put Fluoride in our water years ago, you even get a dose when you
capsize on the London Res's, so we've pretty much all still got our own
teeth.

I realise with the preponderance of male to male oral sex in Germany your
toothlessness is advantageous..

But no, the toothpaste doesn't actually set over here..

Meaning "sikaflex" or  generically, marine silicon.

What prompted the rest?

Pass the skiff, man!

Chris,

It is a lovely looking thing, quite jealous.

Are you *sure* I couldn't pitch pole it? That just sounds like a challenge.

Hi Simon,

Think even you would struggle to pitchpole an RS100 !!!!!!!

I ordered mine within minutes of the launch offer being announced (had
been following the development blog) as a 'treat' after two years off on
my never ending (and still not finished !) house build project.

Look forward to racing with you boys this year (in the Vortex).

Cheers

Chris

Chris has got one coming and Keith getting one too?

Will be combined vortex / RS100 events before we know it.
Get it delivered by May then and we'll have a look at YDSC

Hi Hector (alright Keith I know its you !)

No, definately not selling my Vortex ! In a 3 and above the Vortex is great
and as you well know gives us great racing and shed loads of fun for
minimum outlay - I describe it as an "easy to sail one man 49er" !!

Just looking to expand the challenges particularly in lighter airs on my
restricted local tidal river, which is not the Vortex's strongest point
(although doesnt seem to hold back Chris T !).

Hear you have got one reserved. Any of the other boys at YDSC
considering one ?

Cheers

Apologies to GRFs dog.  I wonder - Can the RSPCA do me as an accessory to animal cruelty?

RE Earlier post, Mike Saul of MS Dinghy supplies is based in 'Gods own county' - at Hampsthwaite near Harrogate and is indeed a member at Yorkshire Dales SC where there will soon be a demo RS100 - and possibly more

MSDS are the place to get your RS100 ordered assuming you are from 'north of Bristol' of course!

And ChrisC - hope you're not selling the Vortex!
