That must be annoying, the biggest event I have ever done was two days, and it makes you want to get two wetsuits just for the event, and what makes it worse is that it happens to be the only time I have sailed off a beach!

bear in mind that once the temperature warms up and the varnishing starts the most hated thing will become.......flies.

Well it is her boat mate as she reminds me!  I need to repaint it in the summer!  It doesn't need doing but she wants it pink again, which funnily enough it was when Ian Foxwell owned her!  Maybe we should meet up in the Summer Paul if both kids are still into it? Maybe a local regatta?

I feel your pain. Having spent the winter in the garage having a bit of repair work done, I am now awaiting the warm weather to get the varnish on on my Graduate.

It would surprise the boat to leeward at the hoist though....
Very true. Wonder if that would breach a rule? Sick
