Wayfarers feeling like tanks....that they do but.....

Try sailing one in an F6+ chasing Lasers down the reach...you should see them scatter!!!!

I prefer the 'ball though for out and out reaching fun (I am a bit big for a Cherub)

Kita, No actually i thought it was a lovely boat but it was hard work hiking falt out all day which is what i guessed a keel boat would feel like. Although most boats feel keelboaty compared to the cherub!

i was gonna get the kite up but then i realised it was about a force 5/6, i was sailing a doublehanded boat singlehanded, had the jib furled and was about 10st underweight, and i didnt want 2 look like a completely fool with an olympic champion out on the water! and the reason i was going cherub styley with the boat on its side was i needed to replace the main halyard. thought it looked like stylish on its side. lol

Lol yes we did see old cheese before bedtime out. Paul Croote (Owner) offered me a go lol but i was wayfarering and i doubt i'd of been heavy enough but you never know! Paul was the one in the morning flying around on the bluey green windsurf rig, looked immense fun!

OOOH JP, expected to see you with you kite up . I saw your boat layed over on its side, copying out cherub style now are you lol. I was going to ask to crew for you when i worke out who you were, but then decided i was having such good fun in the wayfarer's with old shirl, that i'd stick with it!

Cheers

It was great fun but quite difficult to tack as i had furled the jib but hey! would have died otherwise. Also did you see the cherub out on the water in the afternoon? think you and wham! have some competition now

Yeah i saw you JP!! It looked amazing fun, i really shoulda come and said hi! Anyway, yeah ellie becuase of the sonsorship deals, team volvo for life all get huuge discounts on the cars!

Well I actualy really really enjoyed the day becuase my first team was legendry and we won every single race we were in and me and Rory worked really well together and did things before we asked each other to which is always good! But

Ed must of really not listened hard then becuase EVERYONE should be able to get something from a bloody Olympian, jesus!
