Dinghy show twist

I hope it's the latter

Nope, I shall head straight for the Pink Ladies on the MPS stand and
abuse them, then purely out of curiosity you understand I might just go
find what all the fuss is about with the Crap Handling Ever Righting
Useless Boat just in case I've totally misjudged it.

Then I shall visit dumb and dumberer to see wether the Van Der Craft
mob have suddenly realised their mistake and placed them in a straight
jacket rather than let them talk prospective clients out of buying the
3000.(that is if they can prize dumberers tongue from the shroud that he
licked and got stuck)

Then I shall have a look at the 12ft skiff bit in much the same light as the
Cherubim, I shall glance querulously at some of the old people smelling
ever so slightly of stale urine surrounding the Symmettric boats whilst
wondering how they are going to engineer the zimmer frame/spinnaker
pole transfer system.
I will not go near the RS stand this year for they have sold out to
polyethylene and shouldgostraightohell.. Unless of course I spot
someone I know to yell abuse at.

I am also going to have a second look at the Vortex as a possible means
to crack single hand trapezing on the nights when the crew cannot get
unhandcuffed from his bed. (She often forgets where she put the key and
has to go to work)

My ultimate quest chequebook in hand is to seek the Holy Grail of all
coastal club sailors, which I sincerely hope will be found on the Alto boat
stand, there I shall just stare open mouthed rocking forward and back
dribbling ever so slightly..

Well maybe, but it looks pretty good in the photos.

I realise that many 5o5 ers are gnashing their teeth at this, but hey, you never know, you might like it.

Gnash their teeth they may, they can go join all those other old people
wafting stale urine about like 470 sailors..

No modern thinking fellow such as I, is ever going to thrash about
sticking poles in various unmentionable places whilst the rest of the
world has moved on.

I've even seen the odd 470 sailor spill his coffee and soak his rolled up
copy of the yachting times as some incompetent crew fellow tripped up
with that pole thing. He even had to shift slightly in his armchair, imagine
that.

GRF just out of interest- which boats do you actually like? You seem to enjoy sl*gging off everyone else, so put your cards on the table so that we can rip them up. (If you'll excuse the laboured metaphor)
