Are racing Dinghy Sailors cheats by nature?

Originally posted by Rupert So, for the uninformed (me) what is a slingshot?

It's a very useful device with which David slew Goliath and could be put to good use on the banks of a midlands reservoir during Solo racing with the obvious lavender dilly dilly target.

Alternatively it is the brand name of the worlds best built and most innovative kite brand, it sells globally numbers 2nd only to North, Slingshot target better higher performance riders whereas North target entry level so sell more volume, but between them to two brands command a large market share.

Slingshot riders are carefully vetted, there's a questionnaire .

1)Do you wear boots
2)Do you shampoo your wetsuit
3)What do you think of Dinghy Sailors.

Get one of the answers wrong and you don't get to buy one..

By that logic Graeme has made a rod for the backs of all potential suitors by being too tough and rugged:)

One of them is in Borneo, another is an Accountant (FFS), the 'boy' is coming down from the trees and into management and the girl is a  super glam fashion buyer (lingerie) in Denmark who can do 132 sit ups. They are now of an age where I can exploit them. Hardship and physical abuse is the answer. It worked for me.
