A forumite`s boat @ 2.14 mins in (May 2012)

True. ;)

Nice photos, Roger. MoodySabre, I think we met in Oostende a few years ago.

I thought i would "winkle" you out :D.
there are a few more vids on u tube "Oostende vor Anker 2012"

Ben is well pleased to see The "Sea Marge" in some of them, his very first trip in his own boat & had a fabulous w/e too, right in the action.
Roll on nxt year

Roll-on indeed! See you there if not before.
 
We did meet indeed. Lovely boat.

Thank you :) Best if we ignore sailorman and his silly pro-plastic stuff. ;)

This year's OvA was my third and the best so far. The organisers do a great job and look after exhibitors very well. I'll be going again next year with a boat-full of revellers.

It's a great shame that so many other east coast sailors were put off attending this year as a result of the red-diesel fiasco. The bit that I really didn't 'get' was that there was an exemption for exhibitors which I do not think was extended to other UK visitors. (Funnily enough, I do not use 'red' so the daft rules would not have affected me.) If I am wrong, then my apologies to the Belgian authorities. Silly, whichever way you look at it.

Sorry to re-ignite an old argument/discussion!

Strewth! There was loads. What happened to it? Oh yeah! :)

Anyway, I'm assured that I had a great time.

Will be good to meet-up with Sea Marge and her crew again. Cracking lads.
