It is a dud, a dog and complete pile of sh1te ... take all the fittings of it and set too it with the chainsaw. Have you sailed it then, L123456?

Did you not go to a forum event on a date that meant something special to her?

I'd call that payback! Well done Mrs iGRF

That's the trouble, if it were awful the solution would be simple, just scrap it, but it's not, it's a real hoot to sail, it flys a hull, it goes quite quick especially on flat water, but it's really a two man deal, it's too big and too heavy for one person to manouvre on our beach and too big for the lake.

If I sailed at one of the big inland, or estuary clubs I'd bother to repair and re rig it LARGE, it could take a 49er rig easy and twin wiring it off those racks I'd imagine would be something else, the trouble also is you'd have to know a bit what you're doing to put it all together, anyway I'm not under too much pressure just yet as the Mrs owes me big time having hidden the fact one of the daughters of darkness knicked my snowboard pants thereby forcing me on my recent trip in womens size small and letting me search the entire house from the loft down looking for them the night before I had to leave at 4am even though she knew where they were, so she can stfu for the moment.
