maybe but dominated by the Brits (then again the Germans should be used to that by now)

And it is all our pioneering engineering that made Austin / British Leyland / Rover / Morris / Wolesly / MG / Hillman / Triumph so much better, more loved, better quality and longer lasting than VW, BMW, Mercedes etc...

Actually the MPS is a fantastic boat because it is the spiritual son of the Contender which was at its creation the singlehanded FD.

The RS700 lacks the same quality heritage...

Dear Dave,

Whilst attempting to sail at the weekend, I hit a glancing blow on the ruins of a cottage.  Would a full frontal attack on Southern Water be out of the question do you think? 

(Also, if anybody is looking to unload any winches I can probably put you in touch with some potential clients )

Too right go in there all guns blazing.

Have you thought about contacting the previous owners of the cottage and seeing if they would be interested in having it repaired. apparently it has a fantastic position to watch the racing by the windward mark.

Just got back from the pub (got chucked out early tonight) and on the stagger home had this thought

sailing is like sex

when it is good it is really really good

but when it is bad

it's still really good
