I don't get what's being intimated here, why is a 29er regarded as 'too fast' you can't mean literal speed over the water, do you mean because it'll get clobbered on handicap? We had other big boats there, RS400, Icons and that XI riverboat thing cluttering up the start line (I'd like to have had a bash at that with the Alto).

These people in 29ers they're not young people are they, they won't go home blubbering to mummy that the big  old boys made them drink strong drink and made them sick and they wet themselves and everyone laughed at them in their pointy nose girly boat?

I s'pose if we're going to let anyone come we could get some GP14ers in, make them fetch and carry stuff for us, no way they'll ever buy a drink though.. Then maybe some Enterprise sailors they'd make good foot stools..

 

Perhaps, at your age, you need to seek medical advice

 

Graeme, That's so sad   I guess that show the comitment that James has for his chosen sport.  I guess that it's lucky that he didn't choose to sing castrato

 

 

You can drive ?

 

Well that does it then   If you can find your way to Broxbourne in September we will see you there!  If you are worried that you may break your 29er (I'm assuming that it will take a while to sell) you can use one of the club boats that will be available at a small increase in entry fee
