Surprised you've not heard of any of them, at least the dinghy folk. They've been all over the front page this summer! 

Partingtons +1
The two Sophie's
Not sure If I would vote for any of the dinghies.

That wasn't what I said now was it? I was posing the question if you bother to go back and read the post. I suppose being thrashed into 5th place in your own class must be upsetting you, but there's no need not to be civil.

To be honest in all seriousness the whole idea of 'Amateur Sailor of the Year, with nominations coming again from people completely out of touch with the values that probably most grass roots folk hold dear. Personally I'd nominate someone like what's her name on here Wing-Wang, and others like her, beavering away in all kinds of sh*t weather spreading the word. The results of just another bunch of ex squaddies who bothered to do the circuit means the square root of didlly squat to me.
That Charlie Cumbly guy read stuff about him going that little extra to help folk but if he's a pro guy than that's his job anyway.
I'd nominate an old boy down our lake who's watching his life work coming undone as yet another landlord prices the sailing club he built off the water and others down there. There must be lots and lots of 'amateur' sailors who give up their time selflessly week in week out putting up with all the bloody bureaucracy that is thrust upon them now thanks to the RYA corporation and it's jobsworths.

It's BS is what it is.. RANT over.

Oh and yes of course I'm always salty if I lose, probably like most of us, but not this week, last week ended on a high my tactical genius once more shone through and by pinching into a tidal lee bow I came from 5th to 1st... Once more defying all your pinching in a lee bow doesn't exist nonsense.
