That's a great report, Peaky. I especially like this sentence: "The leeward mark was a little tense, as we approached on a run, skiffs
of all shapes and sizes descended, kytes bulging, pointed bowsprits
glinting like the Rams of Grecian Triremes, looking about as controlled
as a nuclear reaction.

Yes I liked that report. Some people do take it all too seriously.

Would it even be possible for someone like Bob Fisher to get started these days? How does one actually make a living from writing when so many people get published as a hobby?

Enjoyable report; gives a real flavour of one man's struggles with alcohol and a foiling fixation!
 The fact that the Y&Y website can give so much space over to articles like this provides opportunities that the old '100 words or less' reports of yor denied the aspirant Bob Fishers amongst us. |

Was the most entertaining report I've read since some of the Blaze reports from a few seasons ago
