Hang on whos stupid?? you cant argue, if your caught speeding its your fault for speeding full stop! I believe we could raise the limit to 80 on most motorways and dual carrigeways and im not saying I dnt speed, but at the end of the day its the same as robbing a bank you are breaking the law!

Break the law, get a ticket, you cant argue! (thats to any one btw not just you stuart!)

I would tend to agree ssailor, like it or not it is the law, break it and you can't complain, you pay your fine.

As for complaining about getting stopped for doing 87 on the A55, You drive within a Mile of The Chief Constables office on that road,reminder enough that if you live in N Wales you know the speed regs are being policed perhaps more tightly than in other areas, so keep to the speed limits! it isn't hard.

You may not agree with the guys policy, and I'm by no means a fan.  But the fact remains the guy is simply enforcing the law which lets face it is what the man is supposed to be doing with his time.

I would be more worried about the top long slim aluminium torpedo could do if it broke loose during an accident. There aren't many cars that could take a mast full on. Seeing someone impaled on it might change the perspective that towing at 70+ is ok...

It is also amazing the number of people who tow without having a safety wire on.

if the mast is in 2 sections and all tied into the boat and stuffed up the spinnaker chute i cant realy see it flying out anywhere without going through the boat first which would probably slow it down alot.

RE saftey wires yes there is one on the trailer, yes it is ALWAYS on the tow bar when we are towing.

600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318
