I went yesterday it was very good and I picked up a fantastic amount of freebees .

Advice for those who are going, the cheepest food we found was in the RYA members lounge. They didn't even bother asking my group if we were members (none of us are sure if we are anyway)
I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every moment of it.

Thanks Hurricane not really figured out where I want to work yet, I've got a good offer from a place in Scotland but they're not paying much so I'm thinking of looking around a bit. Cheers tho!

Did anyone else think the Boat Show on TV was a bit, well, crap?
They started off saying that they would be focussing on how to start sailing if yo are new to the sport, but (powerboats aside) the cheapest sailing boat they featured was £180k, no dinghies apart from Philippa Forrester doing lengths of the pool in a Pico while making lots of little squealing noises.
They mentioned the Olympics but where were the shots of our team in action?
Plus at one point I thought I was watching Ready Steady Cook!

na the boat show was good today   its never usally great mainly because of all the boring big boats.

big thatnks to sailor girl, hurricane and ben for saving me from looking round the non sailing related stands with my mum.    was nice meeting you all. 

the 49er racing was good when they got the wind in between the buildings.  the team from bough beach won (allgoodfun.com boat)    shows that sailing on a lake is an advantage sometimes.

At one stage today the leading 49ers was beating and the next boat 2-3 boat lengths behind was flying his genniker on the opposite tack. 

A lot of respect to the teams for putting on the show in far from ideal wind conditions.

Thanks

Ian
