Scilly islands would have two, I assume they have a sailing club. In fact what are the criteria as gull island pond in the falklands is quite a long way south! ------------- I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e! |

Calum i think you mean the faroe islands being half way to
iceland.....the shetlands are on the norweigen side. And if
you're counting the faroes then i think they might just have
pinched the furthest west title too

Lowestoft is the most easterly point of mainland Britain (got a friend of mine who comes from there AND BWD's relatives have escaped him that far). So, what's the name of Lowestoft Sailing Club, Dave? Or is it on one of the Norfolk Broads? ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC
