Ahem, I er think the feminine of meister is meisterin so Perchmeisterin, to be technically accurate..

And that person in the photograph looks far too likely to accentuate that tendency she clearly has to lean backwards, I shouldn't pay too much heed to anything she says, you might end up losing that crown and doing things 'properly'.

Just look at that determination, even if you were approaching would you even dare call starboard?

I am quite worried that with losing weight I may have to start actual hiking on the B14.

Lovely, and I saw a K-1 do just that yesterday, even with the lump of lead underneath, and they don't pop back up either.

absolutely... as you can see in the upper photo, the padding in perfectly aligned for navigating one's leg over the centreboard casing when adopting the micro-perch riding style.
