poor sod was so damaged by the experience of light boats that were hard to climb in after a capsize that he bought a lilac Solo and hung out with old fellas who sailed too damn quick...   

Good to know the wounds heal, even if the scars are sometimes visible.   LOL

Fear is the path to the dark side.  Fear leads to anger.  Anger leads to hate.  Hate leads to suffering.


Have had enough anger/hate/suffering when sailing this year.
Decision is made, it's back to manufacturer one design sailing for me( unless my mate wants to do a boat swap, but the odds on that are small )
The plan at the moment is to sail my daughter's lightning or buy a cheap laser for a while and put some fun back into my sailing.

You should elaborate - it would make a very interesting thread. Fully understand though and wish you the best of luck!

Are we that awful to race against?

I may know of a Laser that might fit the bill if you are serious

Don't start Quote from a man who sailed in the first d-0 open in a demo boat" Great boat, but I have never sailed a wetter boat ever! and I wouldn't want to sail it in the winter".

This from a man you know well, Paul.

As you well know, we always play nice on our puddle.
Might take you up laser offer after Christmas.
