I Don’t Believe It !!!!

Yep, that was basically my answer, but trying to be polite and reasonable (I can do diplomatic when I try).

The killer phrase in my answer was:

"Should you wish to pursue this complaint further, I would advise you to contact the commodore: commodore@lancingsc.org.uk."

Contender443 was extatic when he read that! 

the jet-skiers are just as bad, one idiot thought it would be a buzz to cut between a ferry coming into the pontoons, less than a few foot of space to get through. We just thought "Bloody idiot".

Isnt it amazing how so many people forget about the rig when boats capsize?! Its not like it aint the least bit bloody obvious!!

grrr bloody jetskiers - still funniest thing I have seen was sailing an 800 out in greece, we started racing a jet skier, who obviously didnt know much about handling rough weather, henose dived into a wave and supermanned over the front before being run over the by the still moving bike! SUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!

yea i do likejet skis for somethings but its the samewith most sports there are the idiots that give them a bad name

Originally posted by Guest#260 I wonder if right now on a powerboating forum someone is sl*gging of some idiot in a sailing boat ...?

they probably are and they are probably being slated by the majority of well behaved, knowledgeable power boat drivers. the best one ive seen for motor boats being stupid was a 30-40 foot gin palace coming out of northney marina during the chichester feva open. he ploughed straight through the fleet that had just started after driving right past our windward mark shouting something along the lines of "totaly irresponsible behaviour".
