I would put my alb up against a british moth or firefly, as I sail on a river and the albs are hard to beat

I knew I was right. Olly no hope against Rupert hes good on rivers and small shifty lakes and in a B Moth the applecore would be lucky to finish ahead.

Well dont let Rupert choose the venue. The river at chippenham the albacore wouldnt go 2 yards before needing to tack.

olly is amazing on rivers, never mind small shifty lakes. his applecore is the fastest applecore i have ever seen! i would never challenge him on a river, not even in an old river type merlin. he is just too quick! u are a brave man rupert, very brave! |

I learn't to sail on the Great Ouse near Hunts and thats about the width of the river there. When I went to Uni I used to get thumped until in went light then..whey hey! oh and I don't think sailorgirl is a Byteist any more, mostly cause I think i now own her boat! Albercores are pretty good on rivers; mind you a paperdart or pipedream N12 is feriously quick inland. I feel a big river challenge is on. Roll up Roll up place your bets now, the contenders so far 1, British Moth 2, Albercore 3, Pre-1979 N12 Edited by tack'ho |

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!
