I think we need more graphics on spinnakers, in all classes. Plain white is so dull, it offends me.

You don't need tough hands, you need strong hands.
Anyone toyed with the idea of sticking a large graphic
on the spinnaker?
As my boat is called Blues Brothers (serendipitously
called this by the previous owners as me and the film
and the music have "history"), and the fact that the state of the boat
is sometimes quite close to the BB ex-police car, I has thinking
along the lines of black hats on an old yellow spinny...
or maybe a portrait of Ray Charles....
Well, just a thought. Cool

HOW RUDE. Dont make me tell these people how you had to moisturise your hands everynight at the nationals cause they are baby soft and gentle and sea water hurts you. ooops

That never happened.
