I reckon given on the last day i was sailing an arcahic 4k i.e lower shrouds were different lengths and i had no ratchet block.. you get the idea. And with a very scratch crew etc i didnt do too badly. But i think i was sailing with luke that race we would of taken stuart to pieces  . Now there's fighting talk for you

You're probably right, I have never pretended to be a good sailor. Heck, less than 3 years ago, I wasn't a sailor at all.

 

and I'm a slow learner...

 

and you're heavier than me...

Yes Luke and BNS did do well, but I know they wanted to beat me particularly and so it was good to stay in front.  The same goes for Alex - he'd love to beat me and I have no doubt he would be quite a challenge if he had a good boat.  But the plain fact is we beat them and I'm going to enjoy it and if it winds them up a bit then so much the better - that's what competition is all about.

I might do a few circuit events, but let's face it there are people at Wilsonian I want to beat and the sailing there is varied and challenging.  After all I could have stayed at BBSC and been the dominent 4000! [More wind up].

I think the crew issue is not applicable.  Val who crewed for Alex is a real tryer and has sailed with me on the Medway in some pretty strong weather although her diminutive frame means you hardly notice the difference when she gets out on the wire (all the better for those downwind legs).  BNS looks very comfortable on the wire and I never heard Luke complain and Sonja has only recently been crewing for me but we're begining to get it together.

And finally have you seen how old and tired my jib is - they should be ashamed of themselves - being beaten by that.

Ooh its on now stewpot! Her name is Ione and she wasnt the best crew in the world but 10/10 for effort! And stewpot battered jib v battered boat = no competition. luke and i will get you stewart when we next meet! Thats a promise . I had my first taste of high performance sailing in a 4000 thanks to the jedi master that is stewart and im very greatfull but like so many great masters, they have always fallen to their apprentacies.

thanks for all the comments stuart but then again u have to remamber you were sailing when i wasnt even born.    

that is a rubbish excuse for not doing better the jib on my boat has died and the batton even decided it would pop out and say hi last sunday.   but i was happy with my result and these no doubting it that we will whip the floor with u next year

thanks bns for crewing for me was great fun with you and even after getting a dunking you still had a great sense of humor.
