He's one sad bloke, all that living upside down all his life has affected his mind, you just need to ignore him tick, lots of them like that down there, descended from convicts who went on to inbreed, hardly surprising they're a bit mental.

What you are ignoring in your normal haste to insult someone is that time and time again (as in the Laser Nationals thread, for example) other people have objected to such "jokes" before I have. If such posts are jokes then a lot of people are failing to see the "funny side", so they are either not at all funny, or mere insults wrapped in a transparent cover.

Minisails for a small class membership have been getting double figures for a number of years.

Long ago I suggested something similar along the lines of a group of the cottage builders supporting a marketing incentive where they not only organised events for the classes they were supporting but the organisation drove sales for them, naturally it fell on deaf ears. Phantoms, Solutions V3000's and those other boats that Ovington and Vander Craft were doing sprang to mind at the time.

Classes already share events. Sometimes two classes will find they are a congenial combination and share events regularly for several years. Particularly works if its a two hander and a single hander. Cherubs and Moths in the pre foil days when both had a similar number of competitors was an example. I particularly remember the year when our fixtures sec in the Cherubs suddenly found himself completely overwhelmed by other responsibilities, and the wonderful Colin Newman was almost fixtures secretary for both classes. Thankyou again Colin!
