John Bertrand famously set out for the race course with 'Down Under' by Men at Work blaring from the support boat in order to motivate his crew....

Me, I've currently got U2 greatest hits in the car stereo.  Great for a windy day!

How cool does that sound. Thats given me a cool idea for the Cadet Week Day sail (in Mirrors). Find/build a sound system for the front hold thats also waterproof!!!

My mate had a waterproof radio and when asked why she was heading off in the other direction to everyone the response was 'well if i tack i loose the signal and I like this song!!'

I reckon a mini (ultra light) sound system attachment may have to be modded onto my mussy .  A bit of Skindred or Enter Shikari blaring out is going to make those gybes feel that bit sweeter!  That reminds me...i really should get round to sailing it a bit more often!

you can buy a waterproof MP3 player from Oregon Scientific ( google ) that with the proper - as suppied headphones work very well & are waterproof for all your sailing needs with a battery supply that is good enough for 8 hours of good rocking music ( mine has had 1 years worth of abuse & works great ).

It also comes with a strap to fit on your arm or a clip so it will fit into your pocket of the lifejacket

MmM, I agree Doug, Enter Shikari would be pretty sexy on water.
