What about the 'Noble Globals' ( or the No b... Glow b...s)? Maybe a certain insurance company might like to sponsor them then.

Any way by our own admission most of us seem to be on various different planets so anything intergalactic must be quite possible.

Would that be the take two horses hoofs boil for 3 days add a pinch of rosemary(to improve the smell), a good dollop of dung and some pitch type glue. Or is it the modern version with fish bladders, charcoal and resin. Remember Chris is a traditionalist.

I thought I had lost my first effort so re did it - didn't notice that both had appeared! (can't cope with modern things at all it seems.)
And yes I have just been using hot animal glue recently but the smell doesn't make you high it just puts you off your dinner.
My candidate for a really evil vapour would be UCP primer. What's your poison?

Trouble is, all the ones that get you high are supposed to give you cancer, too...otherwise, I'd go for G4, as it is cheaper and easier to get hold of than UCP...

Don't worry, Nigel, the ISAF haven't been onto me, so the cvrda Cots-Wold championships will be going ahead as planned! We expect to be welcoming boats from Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and many other as yet undisclosed countries...from at least 2 continents - The European continent and the In continent...

Leaky owners in leaky boats! Sounds like it could become a relay race.

It doesn't matter what you call it, you're not going to win it!

That honour will surely go to the classic dinghy that is, as I write, about to be prised out of the depths of Devon and Cornwall (not sure which....IS there a difference) by a secret raiding party. Even the threat of snow will not keep the pairing of supercrew Jon et moi (Boatbreaker Maximus) from spiriting away a gem of a classic and returning it to civilisation.

We'll set our standards high....starting with being the boat you'd most likely want to take home with you, then the Concours prize for the best looking helm and crew......the 78rpm award for the noisiest boat afloat....this is a boat thatas Blackadder would say "had a degree from Cambridge in being sexy".

The boat might also be a tad quick but that has as yet to be determined.....

Watch this space, or listen to the voices singing "we'd like to teach the Wold to sing", "if I ruled the Wold" and even "woldy old dough" in preparation for our celebrations at actually finishing a race at Whitefriars.....

Ah...but what is it you may ask....we'll give you a wave as we past Roadford, heading East!
