Rescue is always good at Rutland Think running costs were taken out then the remainder went to the Trust. The only thign the club would have made profit out of was the drinks at the Dinner, but they were pretty cheap.. Skiffman, you weren't in the 49er Sunday were you? Only saw Hiscocks out. So glad I didn't go out in 49er either day! |

Are you Becky or Sophie then??? Seems to me that you should be angry at yourself - you should have known the finishing time of the race and kept going until you were past that point and a bit more.

the rescue team did do a great job but i am still angery because one rib told us we had finished the pursuit race just after we had gone round te leeward mark (so we thought we had finished 3rd). So we stopped, i put my gloves on and we mucked around about and just chilled out as you do sailing in, only to find out that we had not finished when we asked a rib just to check and he said no the finish line is in front of you. We ended up loosing to the 420 by a couple of boat lengths!!! unbeleivably frustrating when we would have easily been in front of it!! ohwell the pursuit course was mental but awesome in 29ers! |

I didn't go to the dinner and i wasnt talking about that you fool, i was talking about the breakfast which was nothing to do with the trust! So making posts like that does you no favours! Chris Bridges understood what i meant, if you don't understand then debate the point dont just make sweeping judgements like that! I actually think, that the whole event was excellent but the breakfast was over priced, did all the entry fees go towards the Merricks trust?
All in all it was a great eent, rescue service was excellent!
I can not believe the personal attacks you get when you comment on the price of a bacon sandwich!
May i also just point out that if all i can find fault with is the price of a bacon sandwich and its quality then that must surely mean that everything else was pretty good??? Edited by Merlinboy |

The immature winging by the usual suspects [again!] in this forum does no one any favours. It's an extremely well run event, the main purpose of which is to raise money of the John Merricks Trust, debate that and the good work is does for our sport rather than moaning about the food.....

The food is over priced but I wouldn't say its rubbish. The wet bar is run by an outside company not the sailing club, some members are pushing the club to do something about it though! |

It must have been bad as Little Chef is not known for being cheap or good quality either. Anyone got a sailing report for the Sunday? |

I was disapointed at the cost of the galley the food was poor and bloody exspensive especially as they probably took £10k over the weekend!! In the end we went down to the little chef
