Just dont stop then ... think of the gearstick as a "set and forget" control, and just use the accelerator and clutch for speed control!

Or alternatley .. just put most of the kit in the boat. Why waste all that empty space?

Oh .. and RS Vareo and no car yet! (Havnt even started learning tbh )

Nah mate, the Reliant is a proper hand lay up chop strand job, where the Feva is rotomoulded...

ahem,,, not very nice! and ive not seen any feva sailors with a reliant anyway!

oppie -- uh VOLVO ESTATE!!!

Know quite a few sailors who have Volvo estates and sail 49ers

Even know of a mate who hopefully just picked up a very nice Audi Estate          (  Les)

What you find is estate cars suit sailing very well as you can actually fit sails in them without them being crushed up against the wind-screen giving you little room to change gear or pull up the hand-brake.

Got a cherub but i'm stuck with a 1 litre polo its all i could afford to insure (though it has got a far from standard sound system!), both small, not exactly quiet and no where near standard though the cherubs definatly quicker than the car!
