It might be an Italian D1ck as that looks decidedly like Garda!

Ideal shape for polyethylene I would have thought

I think that's a top idea. It'd stop them cluttering up boat parks forever and recycling a 12 boat must be tricky to say the least.

While we are on the subject of big crews, we have a 505 Worlds at Hayling this year.

Dates are 24th July to the 4th Aug (Preworlds and Worlds).  Anyone wants a ride, let me know, and I'll try to play matchmaker.

We usually have a few "international" scratch teams, so if you fancy bevving it up with a noisy Aussie for a fortnight or so.....let me know and I'll put your hats in the ring.

Cheers,

As one who aspires to be merely adequate when it comes to sailing, dream things like 18ft skiffs were never going to be on the agenda despite winning the euro millions rollover lottery. However what about the 16 ft skiffs, 2 crew on trapeze, helm loafing around on the side deck, enough sail to cover the millenium dome yet less than 6ft wide.



Maybe some of our antipodean contributors could comment as to whether they're any good or are they just a 'poor mans' 18
