Hay I am not 14, I am 15. My twin is called Fi and yep she sailes she is the one on the right. We can't sail together though because our total weight only comes up to 11.5 stone (she is 1/2 stone heavyer than me) and because we constantly argue - and everyone around us would get earach cos we sing a lot as well. We r quite good now. ------------- luv Helz |
