Totally agree , on the other hand after your recent decision, the only surprising thing about this situation is the fact it took more than one post for it to all kick off again .  Unhappy

I would imagine discussing the issue stated regarding female sailor could impact any legal issues so probably best to leave it alone on here, Y&Y more likely to be taken seriously than Facebook.

The honest truth is, no, I dont really want to add further topics for discussion, as I truthfully would like to see this forum laid to rest and a new one, sprung up by Mark, that better suits the needs of the sailing community, is a much nicer place to come to, is without trolls and keyboard warriors, is a good place for all to come to, feeling safe and that you can express a constructive and well-reasoned view without being jumped on and that those who like to posit conspiracy theories in much the same way as Trump does, are soundly given a good beating - am looking at you iGRF. And, just as importantly, encompasses all areas of sailing, not just dinghies, as a dinghy only group will not work. SA would not exist with its Dinghy section being the only forum. I dont know how this group ended up being a dinghy mainly. Why dont the other areas of sailing (VoR/TOR/Vendee/Cruisers/Cape31's/etc post here? Because there is no reason to. 

Make it inclusive and welcoming for all.

Please let this forum be laid to rest as an archive and a new one to spring from its roots

That claim I made is fact from probably the most reliable builder source.

I would have thought these two facts alone are the worse affront to class racing folk who show such disdain towards us handicap mongrels? (I'm currently actually not a mongrel at the moment in my Contender if ever the weather permits me to get on the water this season, but thinking of making a return to mongrelworld due to injury issues)

You really dont learn do you? You have posted an outrageous staement with absolutely no supporting facts behind it. If it were true, as I posted to you on TPE, the SA forum would be all over it and they are not. You are, yet again, trolling. Its friggin boring to see these posts from you. Grow up Graeme. Post facts to support your discussions. Then we might have a forum that is a pleasure to come to and have fruitful discussions
How about posting about the assault claims by a female racer in the Etchells World Champs class that is now a growing storm of a topic about how men in the sailing world behave. No? Because you would rather post BS instead


I don't learn? Really? How would I know all this? Why would I make such an outrageous claim if I didn't believe my source? Your job is more to verify your outrage and denial with a quote like "I've spoken to so and so and it's simply not true Graeme" I on the other hand have spoken to the one to my mind most respected builder who has no orders, having committed to the class because of their outrageous behaviour. You want to continue calling me a liar go back it up.

AS to the female I'm already well invested in that discussion but it's taking place at the other place because that's where the lead source placed the quote. Go and copy the link to the scuttlebutt news and place it here, that's how it works, and how it ceases to be boring for you, you place the quote then join the discussion rather than sniping at others who have taken the time to educate you. (As you would a child!)

There, I bit. Please go and troll somewhere else. 

Please, someone take his keyboard away from him, as I am sure in real life he is a bearably nice enough person.

I still maintain my bubble theory produces a faster craft than a not bubble filled craft. What however is the limiting factor is wether or not the craft is formed in a mould. In a mould no, the bubbles wouldn't make a difference, but built traditionally over ribs, you use ply and I use my sandwich, you lose. Once again another example, like old man back there not reading posts and taking in what's written, and jumping to the wrong conclusion but it produced amusement at the time so a good thing.
Recently I hadn't left I just reduced my input and left the place in the hands of y'all wokefolk, the problem you get, if everyone agrees, then the tumbleweed appears. If no-one winds you up y'all just don't post.

Tell me, why are you not all offended by the way the Topper OD class has been raped by ROTOMOULDING?

Why have you not all been talking about the multiple Laser builders ruining that class thanks to the ILCA and they're doing nothing about it?

Finally re the here v there thing, it's not an either or, they are just different places that attract different dinghy folk post in both of them it's not written that you can only be in one or the other is it?
