It would have to be a Winnebago at the very least to keep the bread knife happy, many eons ago we used to take the girls to events so had no choice but to acquire this bloody great six berth thing, which, the damn kids would go straight out and fill up the toilets whilst it was parked at home, just to give me toilet emptying practise.
Then when you drive along, have you noticed, as well as the long queue of traffic you garner behind, every RV coming the other way salutes, like it's some sort of special society of supreme traffic disrupters. Then the culture that it brings to events, gone are the typical post event bar sessions of drink, banter and hilarity, it's all 'come round to ours for a meal' and 'scrabble anyone' or 'naked twister' with fat old people..

They are the ruination of regatta culture and the reason all classes are in decline imv.

I can picture it now, rained off alfresco eating replaced with a squash around the table, eating grilled sausages and burgers with an M&S 'three bean salad' and some slightly warm Mateus as the fridge only runs when the engine's on.... this is the life hey Barry?

Last nail in my coffin on this one and I quote "Don't think you're going off on some dinghy event on our anniversary like you did on my birthday last year, then come back and I find bondage equipment in your kit bag!"

Bondage Gear... you never told us you bought a Graduate dinghy???

I booked my spot for the NWF today... I assume you are coming?  You've laid the gauntlet down twice before, both times losing... it seems only fair to offer a re-match on your discipline.  

I'll be packing a Starboard Futura and Tushingham Lightning combo for the slalom events... surely you can resist such easy post-event ribbing?

Can you imagine if you lost to me at windsurfing... ouch.  New User ID first thing Monday morning for sure.

I can imagine lots of things...

But that?

I'm trying really hard here...

Nope, sorry can't imagine that, that would be like you beating me in a dinghy in my conditions..

Unlikely.

But hey you know what?

If you did ever?

I'd genuinely be pleased for you, and that sentiment Wing wang would also apply to those poor unfortunates in the EPS's that will miss my challenge, it's not much fun going into a race expecting to win, it's a far better experience going and knowing you'll be beaten and trying to figure a way not to be, the journey is a lot better than the final destination I have come to appreciate albeit a little late in life..

Unlikely.

and pray tell... what are 'your' conditions?  

I seem recall beating you in a drift around a tideless lake in Hertfordshire- and that was on the day when a hangover wasn't a valid excuse.  Plus beating you at Parkstone when there was a bit of breeze... so much breeze that a few of us coined the phrase, 'fowl conditions' - given the number of chickens who didn't launch.

Shifty and Manageable.. (That means manageable without all that un gentlemanly arse hanging nonsense...)

I have absolutely no recollection of you beating me around a tideless lake in Hertfordshire, then again I have very little recollection of anything much after the post changing rooms dwarf tossing incident...

Show me the results again...

Wait now where were you?

If you want hilarity, banter, camaraderie and drink then cvrda events are the place to be.  We'll even let you diss the boats without taking offence because we're a seriously good bunch of people who love our sailing and our boats, plus all the festivities that go with it.

It's quite possible, in fact, that we love our boats even more than we love sailing them...and we still won't take offence.
the same, but different...
