That sounds like a plan. Just a very bad one. England are playing tonight so there'll be no rugby worth watching tomorrow. And just when the wind has reached the right strength for your 30+ stone...

Thanks for that Steve!!  We may still go out for a play even if its binned off, although we will see how brave i am tomorrow morning!!!  We got plent of crap to do on the boat and a chandler on site helps.  You don't just have to watch England play you know.  Its not football!!

try dragging it up the beach at Hythe to get some 'heavy weather traction' on the underside of the hull!!!!


 and increase the apparent wind !!

Ah the old inverted top batten trick on a 300, I remember it well. I used to employ it in anything above 15 knots  ;o)
