This is a conventional crown cap bottle closure you are talking about? Why do you need a bottle opener? All you need is an edge that won't readily be damaged... I dunno, kids these days, moan, groan...

I'm sure Chris249 has.... although you'll have to forgive said scaffolder for using his work apparatus and a cut down dust sheet to keep up with the Jones's with their expensive radial rigs on windy days.

The Hartleys father and son are the principal salesmen for the product. Both are very tall, I believe that you, Woodbuggerer are, like me, are a little challenged in that respect so the draught of salesmanship just kisses the tops of our bald heads. I do have the advantage of knowing them for a long time however. Also from what others have said re-bottle opener. Approaching a stand with a full toolkit jangling from your belt makes you look like a scaffolder and who ever heard of a sailing scaffolder?

Oh and golden rule.. absolutely never never never ever clash the colour of your boat with ginger people.
You need a special coral for the Damien Lewis's of this world. 'Excuse me sir would you mind just stepping over here, you're clashing with our fine products..

Oh come on chaps.....I do have an image to support! I could hardly be seen rolling round the stand searching for ways of prising off bottle tops whilst dribbling in anticipation. I was trying to look like a respectable father figure in front of a particularly attractive young lady (can I say that Nessa?) not a desperate drunk.

My belt has a bottle opener, along with binding tool and phillips and flat bade screw driver heads on the buckle, doesn't everybody's ?
I recognise not everyone wants the hard sell, but they don't mind a bit of fun and razzmatazz which is what a class stand should be about. The Pro stands must know all the other stuff or they wouldn't still be around, having said that I've been on the Hartleys stand everywhere I've seen them, the LBS, SBS, DS every year since and not once have I been approached and so it is I guess, their technique has to be least cost routing to market and wait for your approach, not always a good decision in my view. You can't listen to all that 'don't bother me I don't want you to sell me anything from all those tyre kickers ' the stock answer to them is what the f**k are you doing on my stand wasting my time then if you're not going to buy anything. (Delivered with a cheeky grin and obviously outrageous over the top manner) In fact why have you even come to this show taking up space?Edited by Woodbotherer - 13 Mar 15 at 11:56am |

As for the Dinghy show...I know the D-Zero stand was very busy and, looking back, we could have organised ourselves a little better. This was the first show for the CA though so we live and learn.
Class t-shirts or Polos are definitely the way forward along with a name badge identifying who you are (just makes you look a little more official). Aside from that was was a huge amount of interest. We even had some RS people nosing around.....
