Clubs still allowing sailing

TT - for me as a 95kg gorilla the options were Finn, Phantom and H2 for hiking singlehanders with no kite which is what I wanted. I guess you could add M14 to that list if it can carry weight (TBC). If you wanted a beach boat for blasting about more than racing then a Cat is a good option and the kids love them as they go fast, can be quite "wet" and you have a feeling of flying. My kids always want to take the cat out when we go on a beach holiday!

my other thought was an RS Quest - I'm sure some on here would take the piss though if I ever went through with it. 

thanks Robert - they are of course, sssh, rotomoulded.

If you take this to it's logical conclusion all the time we remain compliant, it's going to lead to the obvious division of those 'certificated immune' and those not, with freedoms applied to one group not the other.

Meanwhile on average 450 people die every day and have been for some time of cancer. I don't see the same hysteria being applied to why that is. In fact I have wondered over the years why cancer has become so prevalent of late, was it the airborn Nuclear tests of the fifites, was it Chernobyl, is it Fukushima? Is it Wifi, will it be 5G? Whatever, it's not part of the febrile media focus right now, right now we're concerned about a flu virus that at 178,000 has yet to reach seasonal flu death rates of 600,000 I read somewhere today. The panic has caused over demand for everything from toilet rolls to PPE. The search is on for death rates, there is anecdotal evidence in my world of at least one 'was going to die', 'wanted to die having lost his wife', was in a hospice on his last legs not eating and yet the death was still recorded as Covi19 related.

Everybody dies, everybody knows someone who's died, more so of cancer than covid just yet and even then in the past, it would have been called pneumonia brought on by flu, unremarkable. People with pneumonia would be on ventilators, in a flu epidemic there would be a shortage of ventilators, there just wouldn't have been a global media induced hysterical panic. When this is over, people will still be dying at the rate of 450 a day here of cancer will anyone bat an eyelid?
