Vuvuzela!!
Since we've spent a bit too much time lately blowing our trumpets, as some light relief, has anyone got any (polite) ideas about a use for one of these in the context of the CVRDA.
i.e:-
1.) As additional clutter in the garage/boatshed. (Alongside the Unicycle.)
2.) Carried on board to warn off others (see also "Vindi vardi Boot Buggeri arf")
3.) As an alternative (temporary) starting hooter at Shearwater.

Put a cork in the end and use it as a baler.

Ensure dry floor in boat when caught short - the narrow bit would appear to be centreboard slot width. With a bit of judicial remoulding over a flame the trumpet end could be modified for lady use as well.

Re: Vuvuzela!!
I hate to worry you (jon..be scared...be very scared as the Tera Nationals are but a week hence) but.....
In years gone by, Netley used to host the Scorpion Southerns. I was a 'new' race officer and was not aware of the rules that state that belt, braces and knotted string may not be enough to keep trousers from ending up around ankles.
A big fleet of boat were trying to start, when the electric horn failed, then both the gas powered horns gave out nothing more than a wet sounding f*rting noise.
Cue the whole Race Team, lined up along the rail, all shouting 'Bang' in unison!!!!
One of them there horns would have saved my bacon!
