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

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?

The supreme sailing system? Are they EPS racks?

I had cause to actually dangle posterior recently, it's a damn nuisance, but when you find your downhill speed and skills keep bringing you into the lead, you get all enthusiastic about holding on to it and do all manner of perverse things going back up wind, tacking on shifts and everything..

AKA the toilet seat......I hear Twyfords and Armitage Shanks are looking to put them back in to production  Wink

When it comes to marketing own goals then Equipped with Privy Seat has to right up there.

I would say Expertly Positioned Shi*box, but that would unbecoming of thread around gentlemanliness, rather let us give credit it where it's due and revise it as the Extreme Perching Sailboat.

That is interesting. What happened?

That pic of the Ent shows exactly why they are so easy to right; if only they had a double floor instead of the bags or whatever.

love this photo of a D-One sailor form the LTSC write up.... 

A most excellent perch-based capsize recovery technique.  


Extend any part of your body over the end of the daggerboard?  No chance... that's just too uncouth!
