Dream Teams

   I wouldn't want to take anything away from Ellen's great achievment but I suspect she'd be get well beaten in a dinghy.  All that tactics, windshifts and rules stuff is not her thing.  Lawrie Smith there's somebody with the drive of Ellen, experience in dinghies and a lot else, and he is one hell of a ruthless guy.  Where is he?

	Yes she's done well but would Ellen get on well in a team? A think she's an amazing Solo sailor but it would be very interesting if you put her into a team with the likes of Ben Ainslie, Jules Salter, Ado Steed et al.
