To make things interesting, why not have a Yachts and Yachting magazine specifically based on banter.

All my stories are pretty boring anyway because it always has the same ending..... VODKA then absolutely no recollection. Mind you, these nasty camera phones help build the next few pictures nowadays. ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |

| oh vodka is a nasty kind of drink!! |

Nah, shandy doesn't float my boat. Vodka is good for finishing the
night because its fairly cheap for the damage it does. You can get away
with buying the cheap and nasty stuff as well, because by that point,
you hardly taste it. That reminds me of a cunning stunt I played when
we were playing drinking games at a sailing event. We were mixing
things together and downing our concoctions to see who would down the
most disgusting thing we could think of. Then we had the manditory
glass of water after words to wash it down, well that was the theory
I decided to fill "a glass of water" full of vodka without anyone
noticing and placed it on the table. We all went to down our nasty
drinks and one poor girl then picked up the glass of vodka thinking it
was water and downed it to get rid of the taste, followed by her being
almost sick there and then and me and my crew rolling about laughing  Guess who was in the good books the rest of the night

Was for us but in hindsight, I feel really bad for doing it because I
really got on well with the girl and the guilt startes sinking in with
the hangover and that being one of my clear memories of the night.
Saying that we were laughing about it on the Monday at work.

Another claim to fame was being joint first at a prestigious Scottish
Schools event (Mudhook), with me drunk the whole week, my helm
semi-drunk and hungover all week and a third crew member who hadn't
sailed properly before (just there to make up the numbers for the boat,
mind you he probably was the best saior out of the all of us throughout
the week).

I think that's what generally happened but I was that drunk, I didn't really notice and was talking about sailing my boat which we'd snapped most of the battens in, the next day in more than the 30 knot wind we'd experienced that day. ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |

Sandy was easily the best sailor at schools week that year!!! He deserved a medal for be forced to sit in the dark, up the bow all week! Best bit of that week was either the video footage of us winning the first race where the commentary was commenting on how good our concentration on the sails was. Didn't realise that we couldn't actually see anything else to due alcohol haze! Fanta and buckfast on the way to the course makes you sail faster! ------------- Life's a reach, then you gybe |

| When I used to sail a Laser I would occasionally have a half of lager at lunch - with no ill effect. Now I sail a 4000 I have noticed a half of lager is really detrimental to performance. |

guinness is what everyone should drink. It's good for you, well, that's what i've been told anyway. but it does make you wee all night.  ------------- Needs to sail more... |

One of my favourite tipples at the mo must be - 'A Rodney' its a blue
wkd in a pint glass topped up with carling! very nice and ever so
slightly brilliant for getting wrecked. Also the pubs by me do a
'purple nasty' which is absynth, blackurrant squash and fosters in a
pint glass, with an added touch of brandy for any one feeling brave or
stupid!! We cud have a on the water stories section and a off the water stories section in the 'banter mag' ------------- Any one in need of quality carbon fibre work (tillers etc) at decent prices! Int 14 Gbr 1244 'Nucking Futs' The New Port rule!!. |

i would try anything aslong as it is alcoholic!! a good way to get wasted is to drink about 2 vodka shots then 4 pints of stella then have a bacardi & coke!! once i did this at a club dinner and i had a football match in the morning and i think i play better pis*ed!! ------------- International 14 1503 |

easy way to get drunk is turbo shandy (lager with smirnoff ice), though most people seem to be sick after a few pints of it. That or you can try drinking games with half pints of whisky instead of shots. ------------- Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. |

i think you should stay during those games! had some of those games at
1 event and my helm drank a bit too much but the problem was we
had to walk over a campside. he really hit every caravan on the
campside! was fun to me but he wasn´t too amused! he missed the tent!

Probably the funniest thing my mates have done (i wasnt part of this honest  )
- was to try and paddle on windsurfers to the island in the middle of
the lake with no sails at 1 in the morning. trouble was we had to run
across an open capsite with floodloghts on and people looking out of
their tents to get to the water! I dont reckon they noticed the 4 lads carrying windsurfer boards running around their tents ------------- Any one in need of quality carbon fibre work (tillers etc) at decent prices! Int 14 Gbr 1244 'Nucking Futs' The New Port rule!!. |

Guess what, I heard off an official source at Cumbrae, it was our antics which stopped schools week. They ran it the year after, but after we were there, it put serious doubts in the minds of the organizers and they've stopped it. What do you expect sending a group of teenagers off to "Craggie" island with nothing to do. Anyway, lets start a campaign to bring schools week back to Rhu! Would be brilliant to have some non-local drunk sixteen year old schoolgirls kicking about the area ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |
