Dinghy Show - who's going?

Originally posted by gordon1277 Any kit innovations people want to see. As a convert to single handers why do most of the Hikers at sensible prices (sorry Rodney) have to leave a gap up your shins to scrape on the non slip while grovelling in tacks. it is also annoying to have a 150mm of frozen skin early and late in the season. So I want to see some long wetsuit socks which fit up to the knee pads. Cheers Gordon

Just bung some stockings on - you'll be fine.

Hi Rupert
Are you sure you should have posted that on here! or should i call you Mary. The non slip would ruin them and AND i am not carrying nail varnish to stop the runs.

Cheers for the advice Graham i have some good knee pads but was looking at decathlon calf protectors from Lomo at £7 as a cheap fix.

Ah but would you have beat me if I'd been in your boat and you in mine?

True about the drunk thing, but then you know the saying, everyone likes a drink nobody likes a drunk.

Forumites (beer) boat race ..... Could be dangerous .... What time and where?

Blaze: depends who's there, have had great conversations and sometimes not.

But Greame ... you will still come over for a bit of a look whoever is there won't you ....   No don't resist .... you and we all know that one day we'll see you in one again !   Force of nature stuff etc..

PS - I'll put my money where my mouth is on this one ...  ask nicely and we'll spring you a good loan one (not like your old crocked one mind you) and you can join us at Paignton in early June for the Nationals (3 days)....  Go on think about it ...
