The guy in the moth was lucky he had a white hull. Had he been in the usual black colour, i doubt he'd have been spotted.
Maybe illuminous foils would help, particularly on the black ones (if they don't already)

I hadn't spotted that foiling idiot thread when I read this, I just assumed the sea chimp was being herself, never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.
As to the foil idiot, my description stands, criminal insanity, he should be fined heavily for endangering others, then taken to the side of the road and shot. Had that been a windsurfer or kitesurfer who frankly would have been in slightly less danger because they have better self rescue options, there would have been a furore of derision from the yottie community but because it's a 'sailor' the crime isn't presented in the same light. It should be at least a hanging offence.

oh now come on Graeme... we've already been advised that jury by forum is not acceptable, therefore I don't think execution by forum is either ;-)
perhaps you should post that in the foiler moth rescued thread...

Is it possible to have a worse case of small man syndrome than Clarkson?
