yep, but cant open them.

they were probably the wrong sort of trampolines.

come now, dont be so disparaging. she is pretty much bang on the money about storms being associated with rain. that's pretty advanced stuff for an academic. i've often wondered if there's a relationship between the north wind blowing and snow. it has been suggested before by commoners but...

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: nice bit of surf, nothing more.

there's certainly an increase in the naming of a bit of a blow and media attention. they are usually damp squibs though. f7 through the straits would never have raised an eyebrow when i live there. it all helps the kids learn the climate it's changing though. hardly surprising so many have...

that is my feelings exactly. we need a new mirror dingy people can build at home. i think the kids of today would soon latch on to the idea that using wind power to travel is something they can buy into. they would believe they are helping the 'climate crisis'.

they are terrific pictures. they speak of a time long past. you'll be interested to know that i still have golden virginia tins in garage with various things in them. god only knows what. you were lucky, you sat beneath the boom, i got clocked by the boom on my dad's heron on more occasions...

i think i do too. are we allowed that sort of blatant heterosexuality in here?

thinking about it, i seem to remember the onedin line paying tribute to it as advisers on the end credits. yep, i know, what sort of geek watches the end credits and then remembers them a lifetime later. i just loved james onedin. second only to casey jones in my list of heroes. he would be...

good god. the plymouth maritime school. i've never heard of it and i've lived here most my life. tell me more.

it was a terrible dingy to sail. bobbing up and down like nobody's business. however, it was cheap and brought sailing to the great unwashed. i'd argue that it was indeed the best little ship ever built. people all over this land became interested in sailing and the little bobbers racing...

i remember the old rocna thread as will you. it was so funny with everyone getting hot under the collar. i didn't get involved but read every post. they were the good old days when it was ok to roast people in anyway you chose. lots of roasting going on there.

are there any new people posting here? we used to have lots of new posters here asking the same old questions about their boats. i just wonder because the lounge needs some new blood over there. we are all dying off and we need some young people to give us some us a new perspective on life in...

my experience of modern antifouls leads me to believe there's very little in it to be of danger to any life form. it could be called grow-more. what you need is the warship antifoul from the dockyard but it's hard to get hold of. i haven't had any since bogey knights stopped selling it some...
