Righting moment question- expertise required

   Yeh I've always been super thin. Just one of those blokes who can't put on weight. The Moth might be the next item on the bucket list.

	Flano, I think Scotty Ellis skippered from the wire to 3rd place in the nationals a few years back, didn't he? Someone around the club should be able to tell you how it worked out.

	Yeh sailed against Scott that year, actually my brother in law sailed sheethand with him. Scott was definitely one of the guys I thought of when going through this process. He did a good job of it but his forward hand, although small was still a great hand and I think took the wire off the breeze all the time. Another guy who did it was Bruce Savage and he was runner up in Geelong back in 2007 but same formula as Scott. If I were to go down this path i would have to committ to steering from the wire right round the track. Also my sheethand would have to take on most of the forward hand responsibilities.

	Ah, OK, sounds like you've got it sorted. I may have sailed with your brother in law once; my brother (one of Scotty's arch rivals from Laser days) did the first year in the 16 with him, and I was going to be their fill-in crew if I was ever needed. If I'm thinking of the right guy, he was good - and I'm also feeling old if he's married these days! Edited by Chris 249 - 24 Jun 14 at 12:02pm
