Correction:
'Andy' the dancing Farmer has not stripped off during any of his 'exhibitions' to date ... he quite rightly leaves that to others (or the imagination perhaps of still others). However the reputation for 'dancing' that now surrounds him is truly far-reaching and seems to be growing by the month ... he obviously has a fan club ! Some think his 'dancing' should be considered a warning to all middle-aged folks who remember their youth fondly through the slight haze of sponsors alcohol that seems to 'float' all too many of the Blaze events. (He even arrives at some locations with the sponsors offerings as well since his farm hosts the premises of at least one brewer of note). Anyway when he's not building his reputation ... fortunately only an occasional vocation ... or Blazing he can be found in an Icon and should be at the Forumites open next month. Mike L. |

as Ian won 23 years ago, does this indicate that the standard of sailing in the mIrror fleet has not moved forward in the interim?

Why would the standard of sailing have moved forward?

I think its great, on so many levels.
And its great that sailors of Ians stature come back down to our level. And how cool for the rest of the fleet to be able to say that they raced against him, and for a few of them to say that they have beaten him, all be it just in a single race. Ian

The same goes, in my view, for Bithell coming off the back of the Olympics to take the Merlin title. |

Particularly as it went to the last race, shows the level of talent at the top of the Merlin fleet. |

Or was it close because he's still on a bender after the Olympics? |

Or that the class is easy because someone can just jump in a boat and win...
