	yeah mate, they sailed past us like we'd run aground! they had to give us 12 mins every hour! not good for a light wind race that took over 20hours....

	Slop-idol - I remember doing EAORA on a beneteau 35.7 against White Crusader the old 12m - that thing just seemed to go at the same speed irrespective of conditions.

	the old 12's pretty much went everywhere at 12 knots, when i sailed on victory for a season including a burnham week town cup race the wind ranged from sub 10knots upto 18knots and no matter what direction we went in the speed stayed the same. We finished so far ahead of the next boat the race officer thought we had retired so didnt give us a gun! The owner turned the boat round and bought his own cannon up from below decks (a two man job), motored up to the the rcyc pontoon with the balconies full (when boc week was popular) and fired, it was histerical to watch the people on the balconies all duck! i never got to match race against crusader which is a shame, but i dont miss the short tacking out of the crouch.

	Time for some more "hooning around" by nutters in boats that according to you lot, are 2 feet too short (but I think you're all wrong).

	That is a brilliant video! They are giving it the full beans on the downhill runs! I loved the picture of the all the hobies with armchairs up the masts. Thats a genius prank!
