Just love that video clip - very nostalgic ! (Bit like South-East Kent meets North Kent)

Oh gosh, I'm worried now. Are you the butch one with the leather jerkin and hunting bow, or the scared one who had to climb up the cliff?

Still, rest assured you'll be squealing like a pig, boy, by half-way through the race, probably while trying to work out what the rudder's for.

You're more than welcome to bring your Asbo to the Medway Regatta and
the Medway marathon. In fact please do because I can't wait to see what this
"Hythe butt kicking" will actually amount to.
Whilst you'll stroll up confidently, butt kicking in tow. I expect you'll limply
fall at the first hurdle, dumbfounded as to why you're drifting steadily
backwards. We'll come past, calling to you, "stop hanging off the boom and
use the rope attached to it!!"

Don't laugh

It just encourages him.

He knows he's on borrowed time.

breeze blows used MacDonald boxes into the foetid water where he (and
I use the term loosely) 'sails' in between banjo playing sessions.

One day when all the paint has dried, the excitement of watching the club
grass grow has exhausted us, we'll saunter over there and administer the
official Hythe butt kicking.. (They worship Dumb and Dumberer over
there I hear)

I don't recall anyone saying it wasn't a good boat, quite the contrary in my case, though a higher aspect kite with a lower tack (less wobbly pole) was clearly in order, to judge from your photos.

But we're still left with the problem of finding out how you were able to sail it so slowly.
