Yer - you're right - we don't see many ... Daka's anti raggie threads are far more annoying!
I had a nice chat with Raymarine the other week, showed me their latest AIS software update for their plotters:

why what's your box made of?

Canvas & poles, if I have it up, but mostly I am driving in an open cockpit.
Plus, with a few hundred sq ft of dacron in the air, my boat reacts to the wind quite a lot. I'd not bother going out if it didn't, you might just as well drive there in the car.

Now look here Mr Penguin , as humorous as that might be you should really try much harder not to encourage the likes of Fireball who seams hell bent on causing friction between sail and power.
Alright I admit to going along with the trolls in the early days but I have matured somewhat since and there is no way I can be accused of insighting raggie/stinker hatred this time, its a well balanced poll absent of inflammatory phrases
This intended as a half cocked diversion as I really dont want to know about Searushes helmet , there could be all sorts of bags attached thereto no doubt, (note silly grin in photo, I think it might be in use) useful for single handed sailing but we dont need to know the details

Now look here Mr Daka - the only friction between Sail and power is from where you keep hitting them ... without any fenders out!!Now look here Mr Penguin , as humorous as that might be you should really try much harder not to encourage the likes of Fireball who seams hell bent on causing friction between sail and power.
Now, if you could give us your weekends itinerary we can ensure you hit .. er ... meet as few raggies as possible ... after all - we don't want you bending the hell out of their pushpits or stantions do we!

Some of them may have been interpreted as raggie baiting if they were posted on scuttleburks forum but on here they should have been accepted as well humoured
Ive offered before and do so again.........
If my postings so inflame you raggies then then I offer a keel hauling
I designate a registered charity and everyone donates on line direct to the charity.
Once £25 is raised I agree to be chucked in.
manage to raise £250 and you can keel haul me on my dinghy
manage £1000 and you can keel haul me on Felix
Just one condition, it has to be kept secret from twister ken or he will finance a titanic keel hauling

If Im under power you will not manage to hit me, many sailing dinghies in Chichester have tried and failed.
However you can expect me to 'stand on' in the following circumstances........
When you spot a sodding great ball the size of an elephants arse with rope attached to my bow.
when you spot an anchor chain dangling from my bow ( I dont usually cruise dragging an anchor as it affects the size of my wash).
and when I have a pontoon still attached to me.
And of course while navigating a narrow channel.

Yer - but you consider the English Channel to be a narrow channel ..... hence you stand on regardless of what you're attached to or whose arse you're describing as an elephants!If Im under power you will not manage to hit me, many sailing dinghies in Chichester have tried and failed.

Damn I've been sussed! That Vespa clips on top of a kayak with a water jet powered off the back wheel. The world's first aquascooter?
Trials did not go well at first . . .
