We had some lovely close racing between the X1s at Wroxham:

Just to say.... if anyone would like to see an X1 in action and you are not too far away from S London, then come down this Sunday to Island Barn SC and have a sail, from 9.30 onwards.

Email me if you're a definite and we may be able to arrange two boats.

Some Videos have appeared that include us (you need to search a bit. + lots of Merlins) at Tamesis last weekend, thanks to Richard Howels:

Do I see right? A gentleman in one of those pictures is not wearing a life jacket. That is a very bad example to us younger viewers!

I'm not that large! It's under my top.

It has been pointed out that I'm not wearing a buoyancy aid in piccie of "002". Perhaps not the best example to all.

I obviously adhere to local club rules when they (usually sensibly) insist on such things, but in summer (as this pic was) many clubs do not require adults to wear them. On a hot day I occasionally do like to dispense with my top too, but I wouldn't want to inflict pics of my in a state of undress on the general discerning public!

sailed at a river club for years.

there was no club requirement to wear a buoyancy aid and most of us didnt in the summer unless it was very windy.

only used to wear in the winter to help keep warm! Smile

Glad some clubs are still holding out on the "must wear a BA" brigade, especially on rivers where the local kids are swinging off rope swings and into the water in their shorts, and being wrapped in a BA when the chances of swimming are pretty much zero seems just daft. How do rowers get away with not having to wear them?

Oddly, the cox on a rowing generally seems to have to wear a BA or life jacket. But not the rowers. Figure the logic behind THAT one.
