Good night sleep, good healthy breakfast, drink etc, get yourself kitted up ready to go sailing.

It'll be like doing a big event at Alton but not been on home territory.

Make sure you have a few bits of spares and give yourself time to rig it on land before you go out, preparation etc.

....Aghhhh!

I just posted off my cheque today and being only 15, sailing a 600 and it being my first big event I'm starting to get nervous

So, anyone have any tips? do's or don'ts? Im starting to get the hang of keeping the flappy thing upwards so fingers crossed

See you there,

Mark

Reliant Robins are awesome! don't diss them, how else can you get a wheel off the road on a roundabout?
my dads owned one and my great-uncle(?) only drove them things and nothing else!
even can have proper car engines in them

Fortunately i'm not a travelling salesman!!  Thanks for the support Guys, I am officially on my last life now, so Mr MB will be driving like Miss daisy!!  As for Mrs MB towing the boat to events, hell would freeze over first!!! Not sure her in my car with my boat on the back is a good idea, it would be pretty dangerous especially when she tries to put more lippy on!!!

Chris - The smoking might be your fault though .. all that bullying!!

You can't tell him off about the drinking though .. Remember the pretty blue box?

Keep your eye on your right foot, Stop when the big lights are RED, and don't try barging other cars/humans out of the way, and you shouldn't have any trouble!

I constantly nag my brother about everything . Including how fast he goes, his weight and his smoking. What younger brothers are for, keep sibblings in check . I won't be speeding anytime soon cos one I would be a hypercrite for calling my bro a t*t and two like i said I can't stand feeling out of control.

Loosing your license isn't fun, i lost mine a couple of years ago took over 6 month to get it back. Was hell for gettting to work and to sailing events.

 Speeding isn't big or clever I learn't the hard way loosing my license but my cousin has been far more unlucky... she has some pretty serious brain damage and injuries after having a head on with a 40 foot artic on a back road.

Good to hear you still have your license Russ. Take it easy dude
