End of Year Highlights

Originally posted by Moppo In order:     3) Getting a first and second in my 1970s wooden GP14 on the last day of the CVRDA nationals at BBSC, and being able to laugh about the fact that we'd probably have won the event if we'd managed to sort ourselves out enough to do the previous day's racing (also of amusement, getting to the top mark first on the first lap, hoisting the kite and immediately p***ing ourselves laughing when we realised that we'd neglected to check if either of us knew how to fly a conventional spinnaker).

Pity I'd wrecked my back by then - would have been interesting to see how Minisail V's GP would have gone. Maybe next time!

1. Competing (and finishing) 2 Round The Islands, one IOW the other Sheppey. Both long unfufilled ambitions.

I actually think it was your goodself who coined that particular phrase.  Although I'll gladly take credit given the amusement value at the time.

Damn you Jimbo, I didn't think you'd remember that after all the rum. Still you kept singing it

Camping out when ice was forming on the inside of the tent was nor really a highlight but it was the first time I'd done that.

Managing to convince several people that my complaints about the Punk being a py bandit was genuine especially considering I sail a Phantom.

Basically it was the fom event for me
