![]() One for GRF. This is at my home club, the sailor is Mike Storey. When you look at that got to think that the EPS wings are too low to the water. © Jim Champ Edited by JimC - 24 Apr 14 at 6:54pm |

Express pirate is actually a yacht - this is someone sticking an express mainsail up a mast to go sailing, which will explain the really shabby look......and it looks like a really old bosun jib too :) Edited by fudheid - 25 Apr 14 at 1:23pm |

No, the Express you see here (complete with blue jib) was a DIY GRP dinghy from the days when boats were taxed a stupid amount as luxury goods, unless you built it your self. I sailed one at Aberystwyth 25 years ago. It was nearly as tatty as this one even then. |

My Express was professionaly built, I think it might have been one of the last built, but I believe they did build a small cruiser called the Pirate.

Is he a bit good that chap? How has he managed to get that sheeted in so quick after gybing/hardening up, whatever? yes the whole boat needed more freeboard it's the lack of volume in the lower hull which slows it down, so even though it has the length, weight, sail dimensions similar to a 300, it's way off the 300's pace for example, how it hung onto a handicap of 1024 for so long is beyond me... Having said all that and knowing the hopelessness of ever recording any kind of result on handicap, I still love sailing it and will be very reluctant to part with it in favour of either the Aero or Zero when the time comes..
