Hi Mickey mouse,

 

I’m a bit late getting back; I’ve been playing with boats! I’ve emailed Chapman Sands S.C. for more information on the Topcat demonstration. They contacted me straight away, they sound like a Good bunch of Guys and a good weekend is about to happen with Topcat:

Thanks for the tip.

 

We will try not to drink too much beer and loose a bit of weight for our cat. We go out sailing every week but only race one or two times in a month and we tend to go the same way like most of the fleet. You’re right about my starts. What are your start tactics?

 

I Must ask the question, do you have a part in Topcat? We are about to sell our Dart and look for a cat that suits us, we would appreciate any advise.

 

.

I wonder how many cat sailors have pondered whether they're in the wrong sport when they're the wrong side of forty, the waistline starts to spread and the other boats start gaining on you? Give up beer? Do three times more exercise to keep the pounds off? Become a Yachtie?

Calistow, had some private messages from mickymouse trying to get him over from Germany for the weekend. Forgot to mention, remember to bring a tapeze harness, we want some slick change-overs on the jetty and don't want people fiddling around swapping gear if we can help it.

Somebody once told me that cat sailing causes alcoholism

or was it alcoholism causes cat sailing.......  I'm confused, where's my Bundy Rum.

as everyone knows, reality is an illusion created by lack of alcohol. luckily I fell off the wagon last weekend (with a big bump) and i'm under no such illusions anymore. god save bud weiser and jack daniels. actually ive found that you can drink as much as you like long as you don't eat anything and i've never gone over 12 stone. my crew is putting on weight though, she's either sneaking in the odd extra snickers bar or its her age - will have to trade her in for a newer model......

.....then again her daddy is the commodore and i might have to pay for my boat parking if i get on his wrong side.

Yeah, the budweiser fleet is best, acording to horatio posted 22.05. 3. 04a.m./08. June . but you`re right again, castello is in the wrong fleet. I was going to suggest hurricane or tornado to calistow, something a little bigger. But they are only 25% or so out for racing. The rest is cruiesing about, it's poss. the high performance cats are not right for them, but "Topcat" is. You know I`m into Topcat    .

Gm wrote wrong sport.

Yeah, shotput or toss the kayber, sounds about right for the big guys. But it`s only single handed. Sorry Castello couldn`t stop myself. But got you back for Topcat = a tin of catfood . Posted 18. of May. What is 15 stone in kilos anyway?

Gozzza wrote I wonder...

I no of one that gave it up and went fishing. Now he`s twice the size, my waste is 42 " and I`m in the right sport and would not stop cat sailing for all your fish and chips in England. But my Doc said, I must stop or cut down on the alcohol. Horatio should di the same too  it doesn`t do his girlfriend any favours.
