Yeah, but needs nice big heater elements in there to maintain that steady summer feeling.

'Like'   So it'll need to be transparent too, for solar heating purposes.


I'd worry about baking to death in the summer


It needs to be polarizing, so it will darken in bright weather.

sounds like a recipe for legionnaires disease... 

s'pose it's no worse than some of the STDs passed around sailing clubs in the 70's.

pfft! Decent filtration and treatment system in place, condom machines in the changing rooms. Sorted.
So consistent warm temperature year round, no need for wetsuits, no need to derig (the boat park would be, within this monstrosity, seperated) and wind strength that can be dialled in to suit. Could even have gust/shift generation built into it to keep it interesting (but that can be switched off for Level 1 beginners). Lighting means evening sailing year round. What could possibly go wrong?
 
No clue what this has to do with the number of classes, mind, but I think I've rather derailed that circular discussion

Reckon this would start a campaign for alternative 'real' sailing in natural locations, to be promptly banned by the authorities under H&S legislation!  Cry

fail.... the cherub fleet would still use an old bit of cut-up RS800 spinnaker and some Harken McLube.

ponders if a condom might be the 'answer' to how to band a dinghy spinnaker so the first hoist goes super fast.... just think, if you could pack the whole kite into one of the bl00dy things... make a hole in t'other end, off you go, it's even lubed for your chutes pleasure .....

side benefit; could mean less effort for the helm to get it up first time around, prolonging the max effort available for later.....

save it for later... duct tape the hole up, or for added security find a mothie and borrow some epoxy.
