Now Major, not for the first time people have failed to spot the irony in my comments. If Jamie wants to turn what's left of his 600 into tiny pieces I am happy to sell tickets for the event. However, we won't be running Rescue and with the direction of wind he is most likely to wash up at Largs. Phil (for I believe it is you). I can understand why you switched to Tornados. Soo much cheaper to repair. Pot or Kettle - I don't mind. Which holds the most beer? Edited by English Dave |

Wouldn't mind a go but no boat, so I'll have to give it a miss unfortunately. |

We did suggest at the last Euros at Ballyholme that a long distance race to the mainland and back would be good. What is the wind direction. Nice two sail reach there and back. Big jib of course, none of these little SX hankies. For therecord I broke both stiff and light masts in my hurricane days. It's just a knack I've got.
P.s. if any of the boys over there are looking for a green hurricane, I know of one for sale |

It's OK. I've got 2. It's an old boat and was originally built with stiff mast. Along the way someone upgraded to soft mast but kept the original. I have now put stiff mast back on boat to get more power. Even if I took you up on your offer I suspect they'll cancel the ferries so how are you going to get here? On your Hurri or Tornado?

If you lend me your hurri Dave, I will give it a go. Better get Andy to line up a new mast though, |

Yes, being on the race committee that does include me and I treat it very seriously. I am one of the most relied upon to make the call which is a shame because I like the fresh days. But safety must come first. Re quote from before. An extract from our race instructions.
