I think you're fighting a losing battle, Villan. You're talking to a guy who, I guess, planned to set his username to "acidsailor" and got the order wrong. He's also using the name of the boat he sails "Flat Stanly" sail number 2705; funnily enough, it's one letter away from the name of an old thing recently revamped and sailed by Ross.

Please, acidsalior, adicsaloir, cadisroila, wha'ever... can you spare us the sloppy spelling? Private schooling can't be an excuse for everything.

You could say that! I dont mind jumping in at the deep end. I sail as much as possible and even take the bus when i cant get a lift. That means getting up at around 8 which is alot for a 16 year old!

Also for me it is never too windy.. except for that time when we capped took down the main and still capsized with the jib furled.    That woz scary!

Nothing wrong with being ambitious!

Do it - getting wet doesn't hurt (much)
