So who has the biggest back-hander budget that they are willing to play? RS are British and so will play by the rules. Not Aero then. Devotti will be passed over as they are masters if the Finn So it’s either the Melges (vote Trump) or Laser (ISAF helped us double-f**k Bruce Kirby) Laser then Phew, the *eros can heave a sigh of relief their class avoided the 5-ring pox. And who cares if the Melges monstosity is strangled at birth? Bugger.

Should we really be making allegations, even if apparently humourous, that imply that ISAF personnel are crooked criminals who are ripping off their fellow sailors? There are things World Sailing can be criticised for, but claims that they are getting backhanders don't add up and are pretty damn harsh. ------------- sailcraftblog.wordpress.com The history and design of the racing dinghy. |

Reckon so, b**tard awful boat that is it, it does get backsides on the water and the longer it stays a volume production boat there will always be trickle down of used boats to keep the single handed part of our game alive at grass roots and for that reason alone it would get my vote to continue. On the other hand it's a missed opportunity for something new. ------------- https://www.corekite.co.uk/snow-accessories-11-c.asp" rel="nofollow - Snow Equipment Deals https://www.corekite.co.uk" rel="nofollow - New Core Kite website |
