Rather more than sitting on the trampoline, especially as he was sailing with his daughter, whereas most likely all the other crews were 6 foot men...

To be fair the young guys need very good fitness to keep up with the young guys, but sailing isn't all about fitness is it.

I know he never went away, I couldnt believe he only got a bronze in the star at London, with bruno prada and Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson a Silver, I was sure either of those two pairings was going to win gold. I meant he was returning to the Laser class.
He is going to need very good fitness to keep up with the young boys.

he never went away, it's just that this time around ISAF have decided to axe keelboats and keep the air rowing in (after a phenemonal sh*t fight with Mary Poppins). I guess he's too small for a Finn, so the Laser is the only option.
All credit to him though, you're right to title him 'legend'.
