    Thats my chat! Need to find a decent boat in the UK or Europe, but will be there, all set to get spanked. If anyone comes across one let me know. Our retro australian bus is a bit fat and soggy.

      Match or Team racing TP52's on the med. Though the venue would have to be near the airport, so I can park my G6.

      In an ideal world... There would be a boat, similar to a 1720, but smaller, more fun, and still raced by other people... There would be a fantastic venue with tidal waters and varied wind and sea... more

        This just sounds bliss, other than the 1720 bit, the Venue described takes me to Howth where we raced the Etchells, the Irish certainly know how to set up a facility. Would be nice to have such a... more

        Errr... Has the obviously sarcastic description of the sb3 setup at JWD been missed... Maybe we don't have to imagine...

        I've heard this so called small whippet-like mini 1720 boat attracts good looking young ladies with its favourable weight limit... Which some say is preferable to sailing with some fat lads munching... more

        The recession, sorry long very temporary credit crisis, is potentially the best thing to happen to clyde sailing for the last decade. No more will people turn up from dinghy land with Bavaria budgets ... more

        RS 200/400! pretty much ticks all the boxes that our favourite messiah's best pal mentioned, in some shape or form. simples.

        Due to the current financial climate the developer of the Shugg range of Yachts has had to put the project on hold :) Other wise obviously they would have catered pefectly for alll occasions :)
