Absolutely right, plus most clubs wont let you on their water without third party cover anyway. Unfortunately yetty sailing twice round the IoW in a topper would cost you way more than you need to raise because you'd need to run support boats etc. Why not start by selling some stuff on ebay? I bet you have loads of stuff you no longer want and it's nearly Christmas, so that could work. And welcome onboard. |

My first 3 boats were funded by car washing, paper rounds and not eating school lunches! If you want to sail round the Isle of Wight in a Topper the best thing would be not to tell anyone, becasue they'll tell you not to do it! |

Sorry to quote you again radixon.... (I suppose I'm meant to type my bit before posting ) Anyway wasn't that what Ellen Macarther done as a youngster. Certainly the idea that people sponsor someone indulging themselves so that they can go on to indulge themselves more, seems a little bit like a soft option. If you want a 'gain' you should be prepared to have some 'pain' to earn it. |
