Have I missed the event of the decade?

My God the thought of Wing Wang commanding one of these..

No, I think all in all, muppet at the helm of D1 v muppet on RS100 = D1 wins hands down, I was just pulling your plonker, if I'd sailed inland i'd have gone the D1 route. It was the retracting CB and Rudder that did it for me.

But on paper, muppet on mine v muppet on D1, mine should be faster, longer w/line length, more sail area, bigger centreboard, we should find out over the winter and this would be a good way of doing it, all things being equal and it's ready this side of Xmas and I've found the necessaries and a road trailer that'll take it. (Part of the problem we've had to build something specially for it, it's that wide.) It would also be cool to get someone else on the beast who can sail proper, then find out what it's really capable of.

Shrimp? I like a nice shrimp cocktail, those winter handicaps are they one day or two? Is strong drink involved?

Grumpf don't draw too many conclusions about the D-one vs. the 100 after 1 race.  I certainly wouldn't draw any conclusions about how it performs relative to the 100 with me helming the D-one.

But there will be plenty of us at the Winter handicap events so a broad spectrum of talent.

Forget the bet and come and race us, its all good fun.  

Besides with all the other Shrimps in Grafham atm you should feel right at home

Don't forget, i designed this thing, for me, so I wouldn't have to do all that arse hanging stuff.

You were lucky it was breezy, had it been anything clement you'd have had your ass handed to you, all that starting third rank off the line, you were lucky my kite jammed.

Anyway easy to talk the talk on the keyboard, different thing in butt freezing hot hurt glove weather sailing something I've only ever been on once and that's with someone else, so i won't pour too much oil on the flames.

There again if it didn't totally thrash him off the lake i guess i'd have to eat it
