You've got your job cut out with our new friend; her spelling mistakes are bigger than her (sorry Helz, it's cheap I know, but your sharp public-school wit will find a suitable cutting reply, I'm sure) . |

I admire anyone who is brave / stupid enough to stick there head above the parapet, but do expect to be shot at - especially if you start shooting first

I can cope with having my spelling and gramatical errors corrected. It is good for me I might actualy learn something useful rather than apsoluty useful peices of information such as how to work out a break even point or find out if a coastline is concordant or discordant.

Didn't a basking shark bring a RS800 to an abrupt stop at Prestwick in 2005? Have seen Dolphins within arms reach at Stonehaven sailing out to the race course on the 5.9 a couple of years ago and plenty of seals at my home club Dalgety Bay SC |

I'm sure all you contender sailors are well aware that Looe - venue for this year's nationals - is the shark fishing capital of the UK!
Can we have protective nets like they had in Sydney for the 2000 games pretty please ? |

That's a good idea - Looe needs to do something to protect the sharks.

I remember one memorable Scorpion nationals at Sidmouth. Busy planing along on a tight reach (no kite, it was blowing 25-30kts) and a school of dolphins decided to swim through and around the fleet.
Was one of those truly magical moments see a dolphon swin within inches of the boat....well it was until the helm started hollering at me to hike out harder (slave driver she was). |
