Oh! how well you know me young fella me lad! You being the expert then how do I remove a reference to a photograph stuck on the 'put a picture on by clicking the little tree' thing. It will not upload and I can see no way of clearing it. This makes it impossible to post irritating images. You are lucky I saw your post.....I just had to come in and sort out my incontinence pad.

I am now going out to my high tech boat repair facility to carry on sticking my Tasar back together ready for fun in the winter gales.

Lets put this into perspective. We will use young Fuller as an example.
We do not like Lasers out of pure perversity. Everyone has one, the sails flap, the mast is iron. We should (if we are light) sail a Byte C2. Don't argue, because it is nimble and sophisticated. Solo's are like AGA's, I have one, great in the kitchen but I would rather not sail it. Lightning 368 remarkably sophisticated for an old design and great on a lake. If only the sail had a bit of roach it would look so much more modern. Streaker? Look pretty but I have never seen one sail. Smeone tell us about Streakers.

sorry I stopped reading after that, the answer you are looking for is... buy a Laser.

Simply because that's what the competition is, I struggle enough to do it in the EPS in confined water the Laser is quicker out of transitions and since my man bought a new sail he has me upwind at times, Offwind generally if I remember to let go the kicker thing I'm quicker. On the sea if I sail properly and hard I'll pull away, but I'll almost never win on handicap and, I've never ever won a race on that lake even when I get extraordinarily lucky with puffs and am back on the bank with minutes to spare.. It actually didn't bother me at all until they started putting names in the local paper which then winds you right up, especially if someone who one might regard as a complete and total muppet destroys all those years of newspaper glory and personal vanity chiselling away in a Streaker, you've got to have a pretty thick hide not to let that one bother you.. ![]() Edited by iGRF - 20 Sep 13 at 1:06pm |
