After a few years of food and substance abuse I need to get myself in shape for sailing can anybody recommend a suitable regime and/or health farm?

Considereing you've knackered your knee I think jogging is out and cycling might not be any good either.
I reckon a bit of gym work, some cardio vascular work (low impact) combined with regular swimming sessions should get you in shape.
Sensible diet avoiding tinned pastry products and you'll be a stone lighter for the office Xmas party.
Got any vices that you need to give up ?

How about going <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.atra.mod.uk/atra/rmas/courses/commissioning.htm>to Sandhurst</A>? It's all paid for by the taxpayer.
Here's a picture of a satisfied client, having the mud pack and exfoliation treatment.

Request that all members of local club allow you access to their enormous personal collection of diet/lifestyle/health books. They won't be missed - everyone buys them then disregards them for the rest of time. Construct large conical shape with aforementioned books, douse in suitable flammable substance, ignite, stand as close as is bearable. Occasionally use smouldering remains to light up a celebratory cigar/cigarette/pipe. Relieve feeling of intense heat with a cold beer or two. You may not magically drop 3 sail sizes and become an icon of modern health, but the pure satisfaction of sticking two large ones up at the fad-crazed health freaks will realign your karma instantly.
Otherwise, there's always Stobo Castle, for around the same price as your annual berthing fees.

Would a reasonably trimmed main with a bit of draft suffice ?
I imagine the draft being at its maximum quite close to your pole !

re: Currently displaying 2 balls near my pole...
That means your ' not under command.'.. you could have a problem !
Of course your dodgy knee means your ' restricted in your ability to manoevre'
You really ought to display a diamond between your balls as well.
What about boxercise ? Get rid of all that pent up agression by pretending the punch bag's your least favourite forumite.
Also if the adverts are to believed there's bound to be a fit looking 22 years old female
in a crop top ready to be your partner

If you looked like that you might get attention of the wrong sort.
Why not keep a canoe or dinghy (or both) near the water and sail them.

To prevent substance abuse, under no circumstances dilute your Laphroaigh with anything other than more Laphroaigh.
Never drink undiluted water.
Always remember: Beer then wine, you'll feel fine. Wine then beer, you'll feel queer. No further comment.

Try here- the food is actually OK and I was back to my lithe slim muscular self in no time- perfect for when you've recovered enough for your mast climbing comp.
<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.bbc.co.uk/lifestyle/detox/>http://www.bbc.co.uk/lifestyle/detox/</A>
Joking aside, the food here is quite tasty and you do lose weight.
I also really hate to say it, but alcohol has calories, even if you dilute it. My eternal downfall, even though I do only have 21 units/week. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
<hr width=100% size=1>Just enjoy it.
