thanks for translating the women thing!
i´ve seen on the europeans how less women are in the class! but the men weren´t bad...
i´d love to go to hayling! ve seen pictures of the clubhouse and heard storys......and the 14 there would be great!
i drove miles and miles to find wind. only lake garda on easter was best. but really really really cold. 4 years ago it started snowing there. so how´s the weather in hayling?

Hayling? As in Hayling Island? Your German buddies probably had problems to understand why they were sent half-way through the Channel when sailing an Open meeting. Some competitors in the Contender Nationals last year were towed back to civilisation, otherwise they'd still be struggling now! (naming no names )

Great clubhouse and great people though - shame sailing widows cant get a glimpse of the action!

Come to Hayling, plenty of 14's in the harbour, and not enough wimmin (thats women in English) in the fleet. We don't have a nature saving law, it's just nature won't let you sail much before Easter (Too damn cold!) Plenty of wind here though!

My German windsurfing buddies used to drive miles (Kilometers?) to find wind: I met them in Tarifa, Switzerland(No, really!) North sea...some even came to England!

sometimes even we can see wind. nobody will believe it now but it´s true! but it only lasts for about three days or maximum 5 days. the rest of the time you can check your outfit in the water.
one example: last year we had one week between 20-25 knots and the class wich had a regatta in our club said to the comitee that they won´t start when the wind goes over 18 knots.
germans are great experienced in windy conditions!

Back to Germany, do you guys ever see the wind? Whenever I've been near one of your lakes, it's been like a mirror!

I can't help it.  It just comes naturally to me.  And no I'm not flirting, Mark is much bigger than me.
