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.

Better invest in some shades Hill Billy Boys...

Don't want you to burn your eyes on our moving....

Who'll park our truck down river?

You did say 'in the river', mister? That's how we makes our harbours round these parts; y'all bin to Hoo Marina? [to be fair, you may have a point about the residents there]

Well doug, I'm sorry to hear about that (and the lack of essential
endowment common in Medway dwellers).

I do agree about the scenario if it is true, that no boat ever receiving a
bad review doesn't then help if a real gem happens along.

Has it always been the case that Jeremy Evans runs these tests?

He is a proper journo of real integrity, at least he was back in the day I'd
find it difficult to believe he'd be party to all that.

Maybe it is just that to sailing enthusiasts, a day on the water testing any boat is better than a day in the office proof reading, so they all get great reviews. As I'll be spending the day typesetting and proof reading, I can safely say I'd rather be testing. Even a Bosun would do!
