Back to the original topic of fitness. We are trying to get a bit less lardy for the sailing season and were thinking about setting up a 'trapezing bench' in the garden. The idea is that it would be simillar to a hiking bench in that we could do a few minutes each day, teaching our cerebellums where the kickbars and gunwhale are, and how much to duck to get under the boom on the tacks and gybes. We were going to put down four wooden planks at the right distance apart, fix a hook to the balcony for the trapeze wires and put up one horizontal bar at boom height. Has anyone seen or used anything like this? Any suggestions about alternatives to digging up the garden? |

I was having a related discussion with a lady who sails 14s and we both agreed that (both being significantly more mature than you are Lucy) that its the kite hoists and drops that really take us out. Might be worth rigging up a sack of sand on a pulley to pull up the back of the house too. |

Hmm. I have brand new ultra grippy gloves which means that even with our tired old kite the hoits and drops don't seem too bad. It was more the problem of co-ordinating the two trapeze artists getting from one side of the boat to the other without hestitation, deviation or swimming!

Sounds like a plan...... But watch out, that's regatta time and when sailors reach their annual peek

By the way, Y&Y's Fitness ciolumnist Matt Scott can be seen in Channel 4's
10 Years Younger' programme at 2030 tomorrow night — hence he has been a bit tied up and we haven't run the column for a couple of issues. |
