I'm guessing something from your name, here, offshore tiger, but I suspect most of your sailing is on salty water in things with keels? Not really the same sport at all, I agree. Personally, I found bumping up and down, being dragged out with a cry of "your watch" at 3am and the other delights of offshore sailing fairly insane too! I think we are probebly all touched in one way or another, or we would be playing bowls or watching football, or something!

yup, most of my sailing is on salt water but dinghys rather than leadmines, the name is more a work thing. It took me a while to get used to pond sailng, and i just cant get my head round the idea of sailing on anythind as small as some to that pictures mad im telling ya |

Rupert, OT sails FDs and works on Oilrigs. Id still like to see a cherub at Bristol Avon. OT I can arrange a river trip for you but you may find a Moth a bit cramped after the FD. |

Certainly not with the OT / Jamie hot combo at the controls. I understand OT's new FD is going to be called "Crash Bandicoot"  |

An FD on the river would be a challenge...but an oil rig? Funny, I get all confused when I sail on anything larger than a small pond - actually having a decision to make about which side of the beat to go up, the 1/2 mile or more sail to the start line, just being able to spot a mark a mile away - it is difficult NOT to spot the marks on a river - just keep going till you get there. Do that on the sea and you can end up in Norway! I've promised myself I'd learn all about sea sailing, but it has yet to happen! |

I've never sailed there, but I have cruised round the Norfolk Broads in a Cherub on several occasions. Whilst you'd never save your time on handicap a short, light, fast accelerating, tall rigged boat is a suprisingly capable tool for, say, short tacking up the river Ant. |
