Who was out this weekend?.....

Brilliant. I wait with baited breath

I think BNS is sailing with Luke for the duration - shame because it would be good to have the competition (that's not to say Luke and BNS aren't going to be competition).

Perhaps I should drag you down to the Medway some summer's day and see what you think of tides, waves, mud banks and power boats cutting across your path.  Actually the good bit is a sea breeze of about 18mph and a steady, tightish 3 sail reach for a kilometer or two.

Originally posted by BBSCFaithfull Ha ha straight in with the hard hitting questions today charlie? And no he crashed his brothers car and has been forced to pay for the repairs. What a tit. And i dont know i may go back to sailing with luke as i seem to sail much better with him.

I've got nothing to do at work today, so nowt else to do. Glad i didn't let him drive my car in that case, though unlucky having to sell of the 49er.
So does that mean you're gonna get luke out of the 4tonner then? I'm gonna try and get down to BBSC next weekend, and hopefully if i can borrow a trailer will be in my Finn, which should be fun.

Originally posted by redback Yes I din't mention BBSCFaithfull was out in a very up-to-date 14.  Awesome power downwind it made the 4000 look very tame, however he did some swiming and we didn't.  We must thank Colin Smith of Itchenor and BBSC for bringing it along.

Stewart if you take the skill level involved in sailing a morrison 12  versus a 4k in 15 knots on a very shifty lake. You could probably see why we went swimming, plus we'd never sailed together was a recipe for getting wet . I  am pretty sure i came off the water with the biggest grin on my face though.

Originally posted by Charlie Dammit i was gonna go to bough beech on sunday, but realised my leg was still buggered up from my previous weekends yachting, where i smashed it into the stanchion in a broach. Don't think laser sailing would have helped it much, but hopefully the physio can. Would of been good to see a decent 14, though you still trying to sail that 49er Alex?

Decent 14 eh? for 1750 squid i dont think you can go a lot faster really? And i can sail a 49er very happily thank you charlie! Just my helm is a bit suspect. But unfortunately due to the helm being a plank he has to sell it.
