Well i feel that any good party should go on to at least the following lunch time if not later... during sailing events you kinda have to sail the next morning so that hinders the partying somewhat. rugby players however usually dont have 2 days of games (well the rugby players i know never had, appart from on tour) so i would say rugby players have the scope to party proper more. I know the rugby players i know however usually fall over an sleep before me whilst partying so i would say that sailors party better. also sailing goes better with a hangover than getting tackled by a 20st monster i would imagine! Not long before the weekend festivities start... why does that last hour always go the slowest of the whole week???? |

At a Finn dinner near Rutland a couple of years ago the owners of the restaurant asked what rugby club we were from. I don't think they realised how much sailors can drink. Or how loud some can get.

as drinking goes i think the iso fleet are champions. at every event
this year except maybe 1 or 2 they have managed to drink the bar out of
beer! and sometimes spirits too although attendance to the following
days racing is often somewhat limeted!!

maybe not because you were sailors, but because most Finn sailors look like front row props! |
