reasons not sail a Musto Skiff

Er.. you asked the reason for the title, i answered, i didn't post this, all the mates I knew have gone on to sail other stuff so the irony is no longer there for me to take the piss, it's a dead issue, take it up with knee wrecker.
Watch the video, the guy's a psycho nutter gym b**tard.. Trust me I've spent more years in a gym than probably you and him put together, but for a sport that requires fitness, not sailing a silly skiff thing, which compared to what I did used to do, requires next to no effort at all.

Hi Guys
If all you lot are as fit as that why did I end up helping carrying the boats up the beach at Lee, you could have done it on your own!
Admittedly you all looked knackered after 3 races in 5 plus and Solent chop so hope to see you lot again once the club is redeveloped.
Cheers

Sorry, poor choice of words. Being fit will make you sail better, ie hike harder for longer, what I meant was it doesn't make you a better sailor. More of a joke against myself really as I work hard on my fitness but wouldn't consider myself a particularly good sailor in some other areas
