	The other week, I noticed from the daggerboard that my bottle was drifting off, so I got my helm to retrieve it as he was swimming. next time we went over I got elbowed off the board Edited by alstorer

	I was at an open once and it was a long day on the water due to missing the previous day due to high wind, i capsized near the begginning and my only water bottle slipped out, i pointed it out to the rescue boat who picked it up and promptly drove away, i never saw that bottle again

	Capsised during the first beat at the Tiger this year, was inverted before we knew it. As we righted the boat, I remembered about the bottle of Lucozade Sport and the Mars Bars that I took out with me!! Decided I would rather save the expensive racing spinaker though .. and offered a floating mars bar to the RIB that had come over to us!

	Those foils are cool. They weigh naff all too which is rather impressive.

	Always attach anything in your boat to the boat. That's what Bungy is for.

	At the Bala Easter Regatta during a capsize I fell in between the boom and the cockpit and took my brand new carbon tiller extension clean out of its holey nthing that it slots into.....it sank before I could save it. I was very upset.... I have a biking bottle cage for my drink and my food goes into a bag inside the hatch cover. I do lose my sunglasses fairly often....
