Equally a boat well sailed in a fleet well sailed which almost always wins by large margins on handicap is to my mind sailing above its handicap.
My definition of a bandit.
I have.
It's wrong to name the boat, or indeed the present owner.
The boat, which is what we're considering, is capable of winning when sailed well, to the point I consider it a bandit. Doesn't mean it cant be beaten, as Irish results demonstrate.
Both sets of results are historical, in...
"And tell that guy to come to the nationals in Poole if he wants to play fair."
Without being specific and identifying the boat, here's a sample.
ICRA Nationals & Sovereign's Cup, Kinsale: 1 - 1 - 4 - 6 - 3,5 - (7) - 2 - 2
He's a very good sailor, but boat a bandit.
I have 6 sets of Allen keys, all with 5mm missing dotted around the berth 6m down.
Entire acrylic companion board. In slow motion it slipped down the coach roof, through the bottom of the sprayhood, bounced once at the toe rail and disappeared gracefully to the bottom in soft mud.
Many others...
I use ukho raster charts, ukho vector charts and various others such as shom
Ukho vectors are updated more often, and are simply better. I don't begrudge the cost, I take my sailing seriously.
I do miss the colours of paper charts sometimes.
I had the same experience as slipstream although not so far from home!
After some time negotiating their fault reporting system I got a full refund. Shame it had a lot of promise.
