Probably not an approriate name this year, but at least the best boat won /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Coldwet? Rhymes with original and is more descriptive! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Could go a bit Under Milkwood ish with that...

Fastnet, Coldwet, Coldwet, Boldyet, Goget...

[/ QUOTE ]Does this mean that the slow boats can't still win? Shame, I was looking forward to a small boat win!

NO - it is a very suitable name - just sail East along the coast and see how fast you get "netted" in a fishing net !

One of our crew manually modified his T-Shirt to "Slownet".

Driftnet

Driftnet is much more appropriate.
