Re: Yes, I\'ts good to have a genuine sailor..

totally tranforms it with graphics and "speeded-up" replays.

Didn't find out if the other team carries a weight penalty to make up for GBR giving a free ride to the fat git who paid? Course, he has right to be there but they mite do better without that weight?

No - it's called 17th man.

All boats carry one - they are purely a spectator and must to contribute in any way to the race. At least he's not trying to buy time at the helm

Re: 17th fat man

ok so the other side havea 17th man too and no weight allowance either way? In which case praps esteemed owner could go on a diet? Seems a bit 17½th men at the moment?

Or is the whole crew eighed and compensated either way?

Video on wrong channel

My wife set the video recorder for the AmCup on Thursday night to BBC1, so the result was nothing. From some of the remarks here it does not sound as if I missed much.
What on earth is the admirable Ellen doing on an prog about the AmCup?
