The point is you don't know who is reading this who you might want to impress in the future. I'd give it up now Chris if I were you. Team GBR will be the best in China. We've had 5 medals out of a possible 11 for the last 2 Olympics, and I think we can bring even more back this time.

Which is why I started this... I didn't say they were no hopers, just from what I had heard from friends, or what i hadn't heard about.. I never said they were. Obviously I used the wrong word look, sound would have been better. The only reason I am still going is because I don't want you lot to think I think the sailing is bad. Thats not at all why I posted, I posted because i thought it looked good. |

If I said said that not typed it then you would know what I meant put since you can't emphasis in typing... Unless you use Caps, so re typed for you... "I didn't say they WERE/ARE no hopers.." I said they look like, and as you pointed out I used the wrong word, I should have said sound because I hadn't seen it, but heard it.. |

Clearly your "friends" are as clueless about the current GBR Sailing team as you, which is surprising for some who sails a 49'r. Go on admit it your Feva-Boy all "grown-up |

Aw, leave him alone - I reckon his spelling and sentence constuction is a lot better than most teenagers. He just needs to learn to when to stop (just like Fevakid!) and to think about the experience of people on forums before posting opinions on subjects he doesn't know much about. On the subject of Archimedes - I'm guessing he is best known (amongst sailors at least) for his 'Eureka' moment - or doesn't wikipedia cover that?

Displacement of water? I forgot about that.. Why is that surprising for someone you sails a 49er? I only follow the 49er fleet properly.. Just because you sail one olympic class doesn't mean you know about them all Actually they just don't follow it all, just like me.. I follow what i am interested in and thats only the 49er and I happen to know about Ben Ainslie (obviously..) and I had heard about Goodison from talking to someone at the club.
I'm not exactly going to let people think I think the GBR sailing team is rubbish, when I definitely do not feel that way! I have already admitted i got it wrong but everyone just keeps finding other things to pick at! I can promise you I'm not this FevaKid guy, don't even know who he is. |

Well I am at least pleased he's heard of the fellow, I asked my 11 yr old
daughter who's in the final year of the village school and probably as well up on the Muslim Faith as I am yet has never heard of him. I then asked my third daughter who is currently at not the cheapest private school going and she couldn't tell me either yet knew the name and not being on the end of a PC with Google & Wiki to hand like young Bridges could not quote chapter and verse. Anyway enough about wasting our taxes on the rhettards. Lets define a sailing no hoper shall we? I'd say it's anyone in a 49er who can't gybe it at Weymouth in front of the club house and from memory that was half the entire Olympic fleet

Don't aprecciate been called a rhettard either. Wouldn't know if I could gybe a 49er infront of the clubhouse at weymouth since I havn't tried yet.. |

Haha wish I had seen that (considering his record so far, even if it was as a crew). To be fair he probably wouldn't normally.. He is always with a different crew! Its quite hard sailing it with a different crew everytime / with a crew you have sailed little if at all with. |
