Club Champions

Well in our club its the lowest points score over the classes i won it a couple of times then gave up for the past few years not sailiing quite so much.

We have this as a club event - used to be a series, now one race, but it's hardly seen as the pinnacle.

Er "they" are not like any normal humankind, if ever there were an example of an Alien life form (benevolent) having taken over a human, found it had made a mistake and gotten trapped in a stupid one, then, not knowing how to react when the genuine multi faceted versions show up, it's your typical Finn sailor out of it's natural environment.

They adopt a slightly patronising grin, slink about hovering a couple of centimetres above the ground and are attended upon by even less intelligent drones, drink drones, that mix their beverages for them. They communicate by a strange mix of English and dribble, all the time they are on, or hovering just above terra firma. Only once they return to their craft, which is easily identifiable by it's metal conductor ariel, only then do they return to any form of higher functionality.

They are a strange race, kind of Battlestar Gallactica gone mental, only the cylons won. I'm working on a language communicator, someone needs to be able to talk sense to them, if only to point out their metal communication device is a dead giveaway that they ain't proper sailors..

That Ben Ainslie fella, the Cylon, clearly proves my theory.

Cylons ha gets them every time, pass me a blaster..


Club Champions we don't have them, wouldn't be fair to the travellers, wouldn't be fair to lots of folk to single any one sailor out. We have series winners in a couple of classes, don't think in thirty years I've ever won one.

We don't have a Club Champion. We do have a Yachtsman of the Year Award though - but that's for the member whose made the biggest prat of themselves (usually on the water). It's more fun than having a champion. We all know whose gone off with the biggest box of trophies - they do it every year.
