Well said the pondmonkey.
Absolutely agree about trolls and trolling.
I look forward to Grumph's contributions.
His openness and honesty are refreshing and you know what...
He's an entrepreneur. 
Goes for it and learns along the way.
I can hear him choking sometimes, but he does admit his mistakes.
We are richer (in so many ways  Wink) for his contributions to this board and dinghy sailing.
If nothing else, he's spent more money on it over the past few years than the rest of us put together. (Certain contributors excepted).

So if you can't be witty, polite or funny, don't bite.
Marvellous

I've always thought trolling meant writing something simply to get a rise out of others. At worst I can see it could be vindictive, but mainly on here is seems to be designed to make people defensive about their niche. Didn't realize it had more sinister undertones.

Now....I have put this picture on here for the delectation of young Mr Fuller so that he can see what lays ahead of him.  Cost of boat, nothing, cost of paint, fibre glass and filler, about £15. I sailed it today, fair breeze, very stable and ploughed along like a GP. First race on Wednesday as I am on duty to morrow.....bugger.

Come on young fella -me-lad, the inevitable decrepitude of you closing years need not be that bad?

Great little boats. Good for you :) However my understanding is that Mt Grumf is of a rather diminutive stature in which case I wouldn't recommend one for him.
Best wishes from deep in the woods

A North 3DL would improve things.

true, but an edge or p&b etc would also improve the boat at a lot less cost.

Sod off! What is all this! Total cost of boat about twenty quid and you want me to spend vast sums of money on Norths, Edge or P&B. Now Junior Fuller might be up for that (when he gets his) but little old 70 kilo me may put another purchase on the cunningham or stick a Harken label on to make me look cool.....this boat has tuffnel on it and I made a new mast gate out of a nylon (used) breadboard!

i must admit i am not that keen on solo's, but when you see how many people sail them and how many people buy them new, i know the boat must be good and more importantly fit for purpose.

so tickler, you are correct.

we should all sod off!!!! LOL
