There's a point at which it becomes a) pointless and b) spoils the boat for
gain. This is a 1971 built boat. (Photo (c) CVDRA)


Seriously.

It is so difficult to contain yourself.

That's two boys in a boat with a "Love" symbol...

Now I just can't be the only one to think it...

so read my name! Back in 98 there was not a lot of mirth
to be had in the 5o class, after this was published, the
disclaimer had to be put on a few days later. Shame i've
lost the original image, 'twas good!

Here's another forgery....

There's a certain unhealthy infatuation here and it's not the sailors. Or as the Queen might say: "Honi soit qui mal y pense".

My father used to say that "Honi soit qui mal y pense" means "It'll never get well if you pick it". But is it not "evil is as evil does"?

By the way I have seen quite a number of Laser 2s with assy conversions in boatparks. However I have never seen one sail.

Laser built the "Laser 2 fun new wave" (catchy name) with a bowsprit before they introduced the L3000. Fun as a play boat, but far slower than the original L2.

As for the heart fixation, I'm confused? I have one, you all have them, why not put one on a sail? And most Cherub sailors seem very much in love with their boats, so no problem there, either. It kind of ranks along with giggling every time "sexwax" is mentioned - unless 5 years old, it soon ceases to seem naughty.
