a good point Neil, might try that. There have been 2 sessions since i last did SB though so maybe whinger might have got over it, shut up, and started sailing. (i can hope can't i?)

If theyre moaning that "so and so's boat is faster than mine" anchor the safety boat, tell them to sit in it and watch you win a short race in the "slow boat" that'll teach them!

I'll be out next Sunday.  Unfortunately I was doing a duty this last Sunday which looked great on the Medway.  About a 3 in the morning and a 4+ after lunch with lots of sun. 

It's good to see the 4000 class building we had 3 out and a new team joining and another going to look at a boat in the evening.  Potentially that will give us 7 boats and the likelyhood of a regular 4 or 5.  The nice thing is that there are several assorted boats with similar performance in the fast handicap fleet.  So we have the 800s to chase and a 5000 we can sometimes keep up with and then an Osprey or 2 and a couple of 29ers snapping at our heels.  We have a 59er too, which gets around the course in a completely different way.  Then there are the Musto Skiffs and the Vortexes and even a Canoe to deal with.  I guess for completeness I should also mention the 2 Contenders, a V3000 and the 400.  So quite a mixture but for the 4000s this always provides some competition - so naturally its a growing class.

If anybody in the SE wants to join in then PM me and I'll give you a map - you will be made very welcome.
