Ha laugh it up fat boy...

Bet I could get that thing round a course quicker than you in that bath tub
you've taken to wasting good stomp pads on..

P.S. How is the diet going? I hear the Cambridge solution is really your only
hope.

Anyone got a picture handy of the "cages" that some of the cats taking part in the Worral 1000 were fitted with so that the crew could spend hours out to windward of the cat without having to trapeze? Maybe something like that would work for GRF?

"cages" GRF ?

Don't like the sound of that one bit.

As to the bathing reference...

O.K. Pop Quiz.. Name another dinghy that more resembles a bath tub
than
the 300?

And tell me Rupert when you finally realised your parents had named you
after an imaginary bear with distinctly dubious taste in trousers why did
you not opt for name change by deed poll?

If there is nothing to exciting in Kent on Saturday (I lived there once so I know !)  why not get along to Burghfield - the Blaze CA is running a training day there but you might just possibly get to see something else  .... er ..... of particular interest.

 Yes ... A Blaze with a carbon mast under trial you already know about and one.  Another 'Blaze' sort of thing with more than one sail might also be tempted .... you can't keep a great idea down for long !  And no we are not talking 1st April

... we'll see is we can't tempt the shy creature out of hiding if there is sufficient interest.

PS - And no I did not do this one myself ... nor did Peaky ... but I did supply a few bits and pieces  !!  Wink

It is very shy - its knows what you lot are like !   The CA technical officer had a hot rush of blood to the head  .. and a few quid to throw into the pot.   He might be temped to get the cover off it ... if he get the latest sail(s) in time !

You'll just have to turn up .... it will not be slow imo.

please take some photos... no need to post publicly if you can't be arsed with the backlash and infinite amount of questions, just send 'em through via email with an honest appraisal if you think it's got potential to be a good club racer (and a price!)

Saturday, if the weather remains like this, and the petrol pumps remain open for business and not clogged up with panic buyers I might just wander up there.

Depends on SWMBO saturdays, she doesn't mind a trip over to Whitstable while I fill his coffers in exchange for bits of bent metal, not sure I want her knowing I'm looking at more boats..

That does look a bit Aura like doesn't it?

He obviously took some influences from you Peaky..

This thread, it's 3 years old, I'm glad I've calmed down a bit since then, ('cept maybe last night whilst posting p1ssed) I almost feel I owe you all an apology for being so brash..

almost Wink
