NeilP, if you are short of a crew I could helm for you. The Scrote Boat is on its way to California for some reason.

I would come but need the age/weight/hight allowance. Also some kind of consideration for my boat at 60 years old.
oh and a guard for the boat off the water to keep grumpf and his box of matches away.

Now then lets have enough of this age bollox, every week I get my arse handed to me by a collection of geriatrics down the lake, the average age must be late seventies and their damn boats are probably even older, I know you silver foxes, all doddery about on the shore, but once that zimmer's parked up and you're streaker or solo'd up, it's curtains for anyone who dares challenge..

You going to Santa Cruz then? Might be a plan, but I quite fancy making an arse of myself in the back, having spent the last 10 years doing just that in the front!

It's no problem for me to agree to a ladies on port have rights but you will need to convince the rest of this sorry bunch to also agree to it  Smile   How about sponsoring the beer?  That should do it  LOL  If that's too much you can always offer a beer to anyone who lets you cross them on port  Wink

Fifty is young, ask G.R.F. Wink

Fat is an advantage according to G.R.F.  Smile

Female?  You really have me there!  I think a Ladies prize is call for  Smile

I am not convinced that your attributes warrant a head start.  That is unless you happen to be our beer sponsor  Wink

Just thought I would share last nights sailing with you all. I am trying out a new club, I’ve just got a new job with this firm as a cleaner, all speak French and babble on about euros and tax and stuff. Took my girlfriend down yesterday, she didn’t want to go as she had just had her hair done. Felt dead proud as she is fit, though probably won't last. Dead I thought I had better dress a bit tidy as it’s a posh club, my usual gear is a ‘Stranglers’ T shirt and my board shorts. Borrowed my mates Beemer, he doesn’t know yet!  Wink

Any way got down there some old pensioner in a really nice laser kept trying to beat me, he kept shouting something about Supernova’s! I think he might be an ‘end of the world’ nut. Finally some crazy middle aged woman with hair extensions and fake tan in one of those fantastic Solo boats started throwing herself about in the boat, tacking every 2 minutes and shouting she had rights, (she was on port) because she’s a woman and OCS doesn’t apply because she is 50!!!!  Angry Not sure I'm going again!!  Cry
