Heeeeee haaaaaaaa!!

As a Dinghy show first-timer, I wasn't too sure what to expect. Loads of noise, people talking techie and rushing about....

Well, I had a great time!! I met KnightMare, Mark Jardine (both very good-looking, in their own way ). I also bumped into loads of people I knew. Incredible! And I thought I knew no one in the sailing world!!

Congratulations to the RYA for getting together such a good exhibition. The kids were happy with the games, the freebies and the shopping (yep, couldn't resist  ). I was happy with the atmosphere and the size of the show, not too big, you can take your time and come back to the stands you like. Finally, Contender443 was extatic , meeting all his Contender buddies!

Finally, everyone on each stand was very helpful, but the Y&Y patch was definitely the best!!!

I like the 3/4 lenght ones, you can wear 'em as a shortie as well then, or over your wetsuit, or under your derysuit.

I have thoses rooster ones, theyre good, and are very popular in the topper fleet.

They'll make a bit of a whole in your pocket though, but it's worth every penny of it for the pain saved.
