Dressing for Dinner

Maybe a bit more common amongst the Mobo Mob?

The lady in orange has had far too much to drink... But then, she's in the "Saloon with L-shaped sofa convertible to double bed", so she should be OK.

What a delightful thread.

Not clear where the room keys would be for the next phase of the evening .....

No need for room keys, probably just an "open house" arrangement.

#21 ...Only a 'Cad' would be seen wearing that frilly nonsense of a dress shirt!

Well, the Mystere has a double berth cabin, a twin bed cabin - and that intriguing 'L-shaped sofa', so maybe the first pair to hit the hay got first dibs re choice?

Reckon you're right!

Still flying the ensign after sunset. That'll never do!!

Some posters getting a bit excited here. ??

Far more mundanely, I once sailed. Sadler 34 back overnight from a race prize giving in Castle Carey in Guernsey with my crew and I still dressed in DJ's. We entered the Solent via the Needles and had to pit stop in Lymington for some diesel. This was not long after sunrise and gave the old customs guy in his Dorsey something to ponder......yeah it was that long ago.

This is embarrassing. Three medical students in 1962 - drinking orange squash. At least we had a tablecloth, unlike the OP, and my mate Terry on the left is wearing a tie if you look carefully, and appears to be reading The Yachtsman's Weekend Book. Summer Breeze, from Potter Heigham.

Possibly...

Although my wife (then girlfriend) was always amused that I wore a tie at uni.

I might have been pretty scruffy, and turned up on a push bike, but I always wore a nice shirt and tie if I was invited out for dinner at uni,
I also always used to wear a tie when flying, up until about the 90's, and then I felt too self conscious when seeing what everybody else was wearing.

It was a long time before I could wear a jacket without a tie. I now flaunt the look, in the hope that some bimbo will mistake me for someone arty like a film producer and throw herself at me.

Pardon me for saying but the lady on the right looks a bit like Margaret Thatcher!

I have no problem dressing for dinner, and could easily accommodate my dinner jacket on board, the problem I have is where do I find room for my Butler, Under Butler, Sommelier, Cook and Cooks assistant , let alone the extensive wine cellar on board my Sadler 25.

Bloody nouveau riche type.
One does not have an Under Butler, one has a Valet.
And no Butler Worth his salt would allow a Sommelier in the house, let alone anywhere near the Master’s Claret.
Here is the Mess Webley and a decent Malt...

At the risk of thread drift, I am shocked to see that the mobo is still wearing its ensign after sunset.

So, you‘re the studious one or the lady’s man?

?

I am struggling with that - which photo are you referring to? Presumably not the last one ?

I might suggest that the chap with the frilly shirt has a passing resemblance to Andre Previn

The Irish one on the left was not very bright and struggled with his exams but took to sailing with scarcely any instruction. The dopy-looking one with glasses became a consultant gynaecologist and however hard I tried I could never get even the elements of sailing into him. The other one became a GP.

Or a young Charles Aznavour...
