Well, let's wait for speedy gonally to come back... I reckon he came back from a (very) early Christmas party, as they do in Scotland (eh, Dennis?), saw the ehmm few postings that appeared over Friday afternoon and wanted to chip in! Fair enough, but there's a golden rule on the forum: "Never mix forum and alcohol!". What appears rib-cracking hilarious after hours sounds very puzzling with a hangover. And if you've really won the lottery, I've got a few good ideas to help you spend the money (it involves a Contender for me, plus my own rescue team...) I'll send you my phone number by PM.. ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

You could get your brother a new 505, bet its not as fast as the old one though... Get a submarine instead of a helicopter, you could charter it as a party boat ------------- Dennis Watson 49er GBR735 http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/ - Helensburgh S.C http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=560 - Boat Insurance from Noble Marine |

Ahh a "studant", terms only just started, first time away from mummy, and a whole half a lager, is the most probable explanation. -------------

Now i know how you and oli felt in the 5000. Anyway Homers have sold 29er and now sail 4000. Did you hear that andy put the spinny on the wrong way so the sail was connected along the leach. lol |

Was it upside down too..... Are you sailing the 505 with your Dad, the last time we had "scud-missile" out it was some blast with the big kite. Had to get used to the boat feeling like a skiff downwind and really enjoyed it.
