reasons not sail a Musto Skiff

Sorry, poor choice of words. Being fit will make you sail better, ie hike harder for longer, what I meant was it doesn't make you a better sailor. More of a joke against myself really as I work hard on my fitness but wouldn't consider myself a particularly good sailor in some other areas

Hi Guys
If all you lot are as fit as that why did I end up helping carrying the boats up the beach at Lee, you could have done it on your own!
Admittedly you all looked knackered after 3 races in 5 plus and Solent chop so hope to see you lot again once the club is redeveloped.
Cheers

Er.. you asked the reason for the title, i answered, i didn't post this, all the mates I knew have gone on to sail other stuff so the irony is no longer there for me to take the piss, it's a dead issue, take it up with knee wrecker.
Watch the video, the guy's a psycho nutter gym b**tard.. Trust me I've spent more years in a gym than probably you and him put together, but for a sport that requires fitness, not sailing a silly skiff thing, which compared to what I did used to do, requires next to no effort at all.
