Was probably doing it upside down after a few beers anyhow! Does it actually matter, so long a...

I tighten from left to right. Wet the tramp thoroughly first and it's tight when the plastic D Rings are pointing down!

To remind you all that entry for GWSC Cat Open this coming weekend closes at 23:59 on Wednesday 23rd October. Discretionary late entry with an additional fee of £10:00 then kicks in. Saturday night supper is included in your entry ticket. Sailing & sunbathing conditions are looking good: https:...

Drinking is like any other sport Charles that you need to train & practice at!

Other than that you need to retire - as do I!

See you on the water soon.

Any results??

Very sad and we are lucky enough to have Phil's wonderful cartoons to remind us all of him for many years to come.

RIP Phil & condolences to his friends & family.

Great report write up Iain - thank you!

Cracking day's sailing only bettered by the eggcelent Bacon n Egg baps pre sail!

.. it's much newer than #19 that I sailed for years in Charles!!

Think I need a Sting rig to keep up these days..
