Didn't you know Merlins don't have to do turns

Originally posted by Rupert I am a bit disappointed that all we have so far is a bit of handbags at dawn. Still, there are plenty of winter events to go for such crimes as sailing made from the wrong cloth, customized sail numbers and mistaken identity rudders to cause hundreds of pages of outrage from people who weren't actually there. I shall make my cocoa, pull up a chair and wait with baited breath.

I have entered Datchet in the D1.  I have the wrong numbers on my sail, don't know which way round the rudder goes in the stock thing, and will be out of control aiming for contender sized gaps, forgetting all about the wings.

Give her time, she's still a relative newbie.  You cannot be a sailor with a serious sports car fetish unless you are prepared to run two cars...  most sailors pick the 'regatta wagon' over the hairdresser's toy eventually, figuring out that sports car budgets can be put to better use on water.

I once asked Rodney about the size of the wings and fitting them in the back of a car, I seem to recall a response that the D1 wasn't exactly aimed at MX-5 drivers.
