Yep I agree with you there, Webmuppet. As much as I like Rooster products, I thought they reached the bottom of the barrel today.

Pleaaaaase don't tell me that was staged! It'd would be unbearable... And what next? A partnership with KFC?

Pfft.

That does seem a LITTLE like abuse of the system.

Surley shops / outlets ( p&b / rooster / purple marine ) could have a column of their own on the front page - with it being optional to view of course.

I like looking there at results ( the whole idea of it ) but then see half the threads end up with " a good week in all for "INSERT SAILMAKER"s sails with XX first places and YET ANOTHER trophy."

As much as I really like Rooster's products, I feel that this may be another example ?

quote from report on Pico nationals on Y&Y online today

 "The Laser Centre helped with the loan of new black mylar Sport rigged Picos. This rig is super cool and gives the Pico designer style that white sail classes only dream of"

... urgh, I feel slightly slimy reading it... this is marketing shmoose at it's best (or worst).... any one else got any classics?
