4000 Facelift by Rooster

He's a windsurfer now tick, everybody knows what t**sers windsurfers are, he was busy bothering the RNLI like windsurfers do..

Meanwhile us sensible *RSR's are down the lake enjoying the camaraderie of a race.


*RSR= Racing Sailboat Rider which is what I now call myself, you are all still dingy sailors or dinghyists

Yep, its just like a large open meeting socially, plus you get to see people you probably haven't seen for years, plus there's none of the hassle of actually taking a boat along* or damp kit to bring home**...

*that is apart from those poor SOBs up and down the country who are panicking about how on earth they are going to get the boat finished on time, or have just discovered a now dead spider in the middle of the varnish on the foredeck or whatever other aspect of the get-the-boat-ready-for-sailboat panic they are now in...

**unless your class has one of *those* parties on Saturday night...

All this show talk - is the Rooster branded 4000 going to be there? I'd love to see it in non-90's colour scheme. Mind, that probably means grey... yawn. Looking forward to seeing the Farr 3.7 more, just to see the paint scheme we all decided on!

There are loads of class associations at the show that fund themselves without a big builder behind them. I've not been involved with running a stand for, gosh, it must be getting on ten years, but the last time I was a pure class association stand got a substantial discount compared to one that had backing from a commercial company. that is still true, but its still a lot of money for a small class. i know the british moth class thought long and hard about whether it was value for money and worth the trouble for the publicityand possible new members.  i think it is, but it was a close run thing when it came to the vote!  and dont even start me on trying to get members to man the stand

We're just putting together a rota for the RS300 stand and we have more volunteers than we can cope with.
