Sailing Pranks

as ben says... im your man, not just last weekend at SUSA yacht training. I witnessed

a) a pair of boxers being duck taped to the spreader of the aberdeen uni boat
b)the front water tank of the aberdeen boat being filled to the brim
c)someone rammed a hose into the cabin of the aberdeen boat and turned it up to full flow
d)letting all 75m of chain attached to the anchor out whilst tied up in the marina (again the aberdeen boat...can you see a theme here)
e)launching both spin1 and 2 halyards clean up someones mast
f)one team was found with a giant slingshot firing water bombs at other teams from 100m away...  (posibly my ersonal favourite)
g)tie a marina trolley to the back of on of the boats and lob the trolley in...

I do not condole any of the above actions and they should NOT be carried out blah blah blah blah you get my point.

Lol, good skills

The only one's i've ever seen done sucessfully in my limited experience are stealling peoples water bottles and windexes off their boats and undoing mainsheets and bungs while they are distracted with somthing else (usually one of the others) at 4.7 class training  

One uni yachting trip we shortened the trip line on another boats' spinni pole so one end always stayed open.  Took ages for the bowman to work out why every time he clipped it to the guy it fell off the mast....

Aft mainsheet boats are great as you can sail past and wrap someones mainsheet around their boom just before the 5 minute...

Hee hee. I've done that, I was trying to persuade myself it would be fine at the same time!

It was a minimum of 30knots!
