Excellent choice sir- can I also recommend Sipsmith over cubed ice, pink peppercorns and a twist of lime gently stirred, then fizzed with Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic. Delicious!

Only go getting flash companies support the trendy windsurfers?

No one remember Lambs Navy, yes that go getting drink of the masses and the young trendy hipsters of the day Ermm, being a major sponsor of the windsurfing circuit then?

In fact think I still have a couple of their stickers, the lus side being they were far better than any sail repair tape ever made

The trendy ones being the operative word- the rest of us untrendy ones would probably prefer the ale tbh.

I once did a Jaeger-Bomb to appease a mate of mine in his early twenties- I got the distinct impression that he failed to appreciate my efforts as personally, I'd rather have had a Disaronno, or an aged Armagnac if I'm feeling it.  Rebull is horrid, vodka not much better unless mixed with cranberry, lime and cointreau.  Perhaps I should have snap-chatted a photo of my b**locks at the same time or something, maybe then you appreciate it better...

err - is all this alcoholic beverage chat appropriate on a thread about Cadets, a boat restricted at events to those under-age?

Back on subject, do you think they were thinking yachties or dinghies when they were considering sailing?

Absolutely - sailing provides an education for life, one of which is learning your alcohol tolerance levels  LOL

Best puke your lungs out at 420 event than at the welcome night for the company new recruits.
