Remembered now...
Won a few opens
Started the Wessex Travellers series for Lasers
Won the Wessex travellers a couple of times
Won the only RS300 open at Bristol Corinthian years ago (there were only 4 of us)
Run the phantom website (which is more of a chore than an achievement)
Nothing else really
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

Have lead a nationals race with over 150 boats in and got the the WW mark 4th
Have crewed for Steve Tylecote in a team racing event
Learnt to sail without doing any courses or squads (am now a DI and race coach so do approve of the system, but it's not for everyone!)
Rebuilt my own boat and sailed it at a nationals

That's about it at the moment, but I've got time to do some other things

I was probably one for the first to give Rita a stroke when she retruned to the National Maratime Museum at Falmouth on Monday.  (I had not realised that BA won his gold in something out of a museum! Wink)

OK then...

-Iain Percy signed my hat when I met him in the Draycote bar once
-Tom V and I won the inaugural 12' Skiff Nationals in a boat that I'd done major conversion work to
-I went cross channel in an Open 60 with Steve White who came 7th in the Vendee Globe. Best thing anyone has ever said to me..."She's all yours, wake me up if anything exciting happens"
-I lent Luke Patience DesignSource at Draycote once for his first 12' Skiff experience, took the photos and got them on the front page of SA. Also taught him everything he knows about Weymouth wind shifts *cough*
-Made the front page of SA again by falling out the back of the 18 at the 2009 Mark Foy...
-Numerous prizes across the club and open meeting circuit, let's see, a pursuit race where they got the trophy engraved with the wrong surname for the crew, a beach start handicap race for newbies when I was a newbie and had weeks of people calling "foul" on my handicap, a prize for the Cherub team who promised so much and delivered so little at the Nationals, the club "idiot" prize for falling off a mountain bike and ending up in a helicopter and missing the season, oh, and a Groovy red Typhoon dry top in a lucky dip at Abersoch dinghy week...pure skill that last one!
-And lastly but not leastly, today is the first go in my foiling Moth! Some wind would help...

Just won my 3rd Classics Nationals in a row, and 6th in total.
Have won open meetings in at least 10 different classes of boat.
Have just become the 1st winner of the Minisail Nationals since some time in the early 80's! Has to be said at this point that thanks to boat and sailor breakages, most of the Minisails didn't complete all the races. There is a price to be paid for sailing boats which have recently been dug out of the bushes!
And I'm now also broken, and won't be able to sail again for a while...
