They are so far off the scale, they're kind of cool, in the same way eccentric Weymouth Speed week types are, so I've always secretly admired them, even though when you go on their stand at the dinghy show they totally ignore any dumb questions you might pose, (another reason they're sort of cool), but, there is a limit to weirdness.
You have to ask... WTF is going on with that hook thing on his right leg?

I mean the walking stick he's hung there for when he shuffles over the other side...

I take that as a yes then, look again! It goes from his hand, under his left leg, over his right leg.

Why would it defy gravity? Down then up then down?
It's a hooky stick thing for doing something technical, I'm sure of it, they do all manner of weird stuff canoeists.. |

OK, if that's not enough look at this one, it's got a pointy up stick and extra rope up the nose...And I bet he's also got a hooky stick thing hidden behind the sail..

Only if he flacked over straight after and covered, looked like it was lifting on starboard to me... Edited by iGRF - 05 Aug 13 at 9:45am |
