No problem with cliques, half the fun with handicap racing is the sledging.

nothing wrong with classes having their own identities but feel we should move away a bit from cliques within clubs and between clubs as much a possible.

I don't think I'm ever going to fully understand the workings of the dinghy sailor mind..

Someone who actually thought that was funny.... I despair
