Dear Marjory I seriously need help. Watching the Olymipics I have started to think that the Star is an interesting boat. I don't want to offend readers of a respecable magazine but I have even fantasied about sailing one. What is wrong with me and what can I do about it?!!! P.S. The one thread of hope I hold onto is that I do still think the Ynigling is a complete dog. I admit I have fantasised about one particular Ynigling but although the fantasy did involve some rigging equipment it definitly did not extend to sailing the boat. |

| Any boat is more interesting than no boat. Some boats interest different people. So what's the problem? |

There is at least one Star owner who frequents this place. They have a charm all of their own...

I guess any boat where you let the mast (a knitting needle) go forward of the bow and then put a 9 foot jib stick onto it at the best angle to snap it like a twig when going down wind must be an interesting one to sail...I'm pretty sure they wouldn't go well at Whitefriars, though, so I'd better stick to dinghies. ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |
