I think it would make perfect sense if Ovingtons want to send it the same way as the 59er.  

But technically speaking- yep, why the hell not?

The surgeon I had after my bike crash last year, unprompted, suggested Glucosamine Sulphate (or rather Sulfate, since UK chemists decided a few years ago that that had been the correct spelling all along - from Latin sulfur) as the only thing he'd recommend for joints after looking at the clinical data.  One gram (1000mg) per day.

I'm taking it religiously but can't say I notice any difference, but then apart from the damage which is slowly healing, I never had any problems anyway!

I thought it had been pretty conclusively proven that Glucosamine does nothing.  So I did a search and this is what I found:

As I thought.  Wish it did though.

That citation seems to concern only the application of treating osteoarthritis pain. That's not the problem my surgeon was addressing, and I'm more inclined to take notice of him with a lifetines experience in the field than a blogger on the web. 

It could well be that dogs and humans are not comparable, but I was saddened to note that our Jack Russell was becoming creaky, with his movement looking increasingly restricted and painful.  More in hope than expectation I started giving him Joint Care (TM), which is basically a mix of Glucosamine Sulfate and green mussel powder. Within weeks he showed an definite improvement and never seemed to suffer from his joints again.

In his case, for sure, it was not a placebo effect; he thought he was just getting a new daily treat!

Your basing your opinion of one photo?

Peter started the event with three people in the boat, he took one out for the Saturday and Sunday, not really the done thing, you should start and finish an event with the same number of crew...

The forecast was four knots and it did get up to around eight, you would expect to be hiking? I would be in a fifteen....

Peter and Myles would both be around mid 70kg's....

Cowes week, 20 knots....
