Rupert,

As the resident boat tart I think I have to try the mini sail, also the puffin, and I dont think I have ever helmed a firefly. David is obviously scared I will break the 5o so I may have to forego the woody and try a more modern one.


In the long distant days of Fastsail a group of us got together to try each others boats. We had two Fds out and my old planker 140 and I think an Osprey... ooh thats another one I would like to try. A good days sail on the solent followed by the usual pub meal and a few to many drinks.

Just a thought Rupert maybe we should invade the FOM with old wooden boats :twisted:

:lol: Especially if we could all conspire to ensure the woodies stay ahead of a certain Bike and Windsurf retailer! :twisted:

Charlie and I were thinking of taking the Firefly next time if the event doesn't clash with anything else, but to be fair it doesn't really matter what you turn up with - I didn't hear a bad word about any of the boats.

Roger, I think you may have done yourself out of points - did you not sail Secret Water at Shearwater lst year. Kay was with the guy in the Merlin......
