ive heard rumors about a bonfire night at HHSC when we had a furball and a mirror on the bonfire, along with all the usual bits of dead groyne and garden waste that we used* to be allowed to bring down that must have been a sight. *insurance say we cant do it any more. |

We have had a fireball on the Cadet week bonfire along with a Cat trailer box. Not yet had anything more exciting! |

Back on topic, I would definately bet that a Bosun would survive on the water the longest. Having seen what happens to a Bosun when it comes off it trailer being towed at 50mph, taking out a minibus going in the opposite direction and writing it off, the bosun just had a crack in the bow which looked like it could be sorted quite easily.

This topic is pure genius! I would be going for a Wayfarer World or a Bosun.
There is a small square rigger that sails in the Solant that would be ideal! Its difficult to see if its in the distance or real close at twilight. |

That is no urban myth. Part of the design spec was that the hull had to survive being dropped from 50ft and still be seaworthy. Whether or not they actually used the flight deck of the (current at the time) Ark Royal is another matter. Paul Edited by jeffers |

Yer those bosuns used to be dropped outa planes............I think it was the bosun anyway!! Id go for a Boss in this challenge - big, heavy and powerful - gota be a retractable pole, ie 12ft skiff pole wud get stuck. At least with another pole u can just pull it back into the boat!!! |

eons ago there was a moth regatta in RQYS Brisbane Australia. Back in the days of scows, anyway after the presentation one sailor got the sh*ts with his boat after a week of damage and decided to burn it. the club didnt take well to a burning moth up the flagpole on their lawns. Aparently moths are still banned form the club. Not my vintage but the story was relayed to me by someone who claims to have beeen present but sheepishly denies involvement. |

I've got a print of this picture somewhere at home but couldn't find it to scan it in so used the one of the fotoboat website instead. Bosun Nationals '05 - Huge waves out of Plymouth's RN Camber ASA base. The Bosuns just sail through them!!! Hard as nails boats. I could imagine them getting dropped out of helicopters onto aircraft carriers undamaged.
