Funnily enough, not so many Laser sailors are frequent posters (I mean, hardened-up, full rig run-of-the-mill, hiking-shorts clad Laser sailor - L4000 isn't quite the same, innit Luke?)

i think all the members that dont post more than once get a visit from the "you-havent-posted-in-this-month-forumite-eating-beast" but that must only happen before you get your second star because otherwise whenever people went on holiday the "you-havent-posted-in-this-month-forumite-eating-beast" would eat all the loyal posters who took a well deserved break .

Are you still allowed to swear when the crew shoves the spinnaker pole back into your face and blood is pouring everywhere? This happened to me sometime in the 80's, and I can't remember any complaints about my language, but then I was lying in the bottom of the boat, so may have missed it!

No swearing please, remember young people are present and it doesn't represent the sport in a good light, think that little matter of being disqualified in races for abusive language should say a lot.....
