Olly I'm hoping to but need to find a crew. If you know of anyone - pref around 70 kgs - then give me a shout. ECPR sounded a challenge, you should have done Mumbles - F4/5 all weekend in brilliant sunshine Adrian. |
. Hopefully see you soon.Posted By: scottish_tornad

I am confused- I thought there was a "no singlehanders" rule, but apparently we are expecting a few A's. I will ask Jim (Commodaore and Fast Boat Race organiser). I will be on the T.

Oz: I checked with Jim at Weston- he tells me that the A-Class association have been specially invited as a trial for this year. See you guys there. Scottish_tornado: There will be plenty of other Tornados to look at, but no two are identical and there's quite a range of how people do the strings. Tornado sailors like bimbling and talking boat set-up more than any others, so you'll be OK!

So, Oz (and Si I assume), behave yourselves and then the F16's and Shadows can come the following year ------------- Wanna learn to Ski - PM me.. |

nessie i assumed i was getting a gratis entry after dishing out all the flyers richy sent me |

| I can't promise (I'm not involved with organising it), but I think the entry might be £50 now (ie the late entry penalty dropped). |

It's the Jocks that are meant to be the tight b*stards, Oz!
Seeing as you are lazy and have missed the discounted entry fee date of 1st July, I'll save you a tenner and let you enter at £30 discounted rate!! Failing that, you can enter for free if you stay behind me (which will be a challenge, I can asure you) Nessie ------------- Nessie (I like cats, but i couldn't eat a whole one) |

Ozman thats an offer you could refuse
hanging round nessies rear end could be a messy business , not for the feint haerted even for nappy changing fathers of which I hope you aint ,
as for behaving , nah go frit , with a screaming wean in the hoose an Oz man must need his fun .
Though perhaps the lock deicing trick may be best left for the winter .
Lookin foward for a slurp with you at Nessie - round the front .

talking of beers at Nessie, we have approached Cairngorm Brewery, who
make "Nessie's Monster Mash" to see if they wish to sponsor the event. Fingers crossed! ------------- Nessie (I like cats, but i couldn't eat a whole one) |

need to be a tight arsed git with a 1300 mile round trip ahead of me.(cheques in the post by the way) managed to keep the whole fleet in front of me at the piers last week quite a feat really, so you might want to rethink that offer. as for nappy changing i get stuck right in, that way anna thinks i am a caring dad and lets me go sailing every weekend.

mm I thought I was smugg not changing the napps , but only got watching sailing whilst wearing a false breast full of mothers finest and feeding the nippers.
Guess I well and truely feked up there Nice to see your land navigation is as good as your marine and you've added a few miles in for getting lost , lthough Nessie hasn't moved much since you last visited
