Euromillions? Say thirty mil? Enough to employ Dumb and Dumberer as launch team, I did try to get them to do it once, you know carry me in the boat on their heads into the sea until I sailed clear. Doubt they'd do it now, what with their own 'groupies' fan base since they're the 'Men' of Kent. HSSC has had to employ an entire secretariat to deal with the sacks of mail and would be maids of kent knickers that continue to flood the boat park. Don't let them near a B14 though, I don't think I could stand the heart strain of more hysterical carryings on. So, I would have a vacancy or two for boat launchers, especially for the 49er, what you say TT come work for me for 250k p.a.? All you have to do is launch me and occasionally if I think your up to it, crew the jolly old 800? Be like the ultimate 'apprentice' job, I could teach you humour and how to have fun at regattas.. ![]() |

For me it has to be a brand new all carbon 5o5. And for those crewless days i would commision a full naked carbon RS300, with a bespoke fat top mainsail. Fitted with a t-foil so you could really drive it hard in the big winds!! Awesome |

Hopkins Boys? There are more than one?
OMG that's gros. Still we could find them a use. Punka Wallers whilst we entertain *cookers on board the cruising cat support yacht. Or they could just prostrate themselves on all fours and act as step ups for those of us with er vertical height issues when clambering up the side of yots.. *Hookers that can cook, essential on long blue water cruises. Had another thought, following the ramblings of a mad man, you have 30 million at your disposal why would you waste it on a 505? or 300, clearly the first course of events its a bit of cognitive therapy.. Edit, had a thought, we could get matching blonde curly hair wigs with sunglasses stitched into place for our sessions on the 49er..

This is EASY!!! RS100 all the way! I won't have to spend a couple of years learning to keep it upright like a moth or a musto skiff. The deck moulding looks fantastic to hike from, centreboard rather than daggerboard, no forestay for 'piece of piss' gybing...... I can't think of a boat that I want more.

I would keep all the boats I have, then I would add a musto, so I could make a fool of myself being unable to sail it.

Yep there are two of us Grumpf. Both of us are fat, but very hansom. Why a 505, well its simple really. Its just the best boat i have sailed. Its fast and forgiving, the quality of the fleet is second to very few (if none) and its one of the few 'Fast' double handers a fa bloke can sail!! As for the 300, well it wouldn't really be a 300 would it?!! Naked carbon hull and deck (hot in the summer) T-foil rudder and more modern/efficient sail. The 300 IMO is still the best looking single handed dinghy, it looks as fresh as the day it was launched and once mastered is just fantastic. The good thing about making my own interpretation on the design is i don't have to put up with the RS bull sh*t!

You need a go in an Asbo..
If you think a five oh is fast and forgiving. I'll make another carbon wash through version and give you it to try, if you liked it you could have it, with 30 mil? I could give loads of them away. Then we'd have a neat class.

I'd buy a barn or an industrial unit as a workshop and storage for the current fleet then add more old and unusual boats as they appear on the market. And a 59er for modern fun. And find a decent lake for them with no boat licencing :-(
Might even be enough for that second mortgage you need to join Parkstone. Then retire of course, so there'd be time to sail! Edited by patj - 30 Sep 10 at 7:50pm |

Win the Euromillion draw, and I reckon you buy a whole fleet of them to equip your club...
