Back on topic (dragging the conversation up from the gutter...) welcome Robin!
...just a warning though. Not all boats are a-rocking even with activity taking place inside. Catamarans, for instance...

Git here.
And I formed the Foredeck Union in 1991. The mottos was 'The Gorillas Revolt'. Quite.
Advice section:
Never wander aft of the shrouds. They wouldn't understand you, unless you are bellowing at 110Db and purple faced, because the Twot on the Stick gybed too far too fast, and the Twonk on the spinnaker sheet was a bit hasty and you are struggling to get the pole in the mast. Again.

Sixpence - I think he was a bit surprised, not by the call out of the blue but because you actually weren't an indian trying to sell him some windows.
Now look here you lot, I'll have you know I am a very angelic young gentleman and have absolutely no idea what you're talking about... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif What is it they say about sailors... We can go for hours and we know what to do when things get rough /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Yis'll not be larfin' when I've gone stol'n all yer wenches!
Ha, me mam was quizzing me about who these people I'm going off sailing with, and I told her not to be so daft... Now I'm beginning to wonder!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
You're right, there are a few fenland inbreds coming out of the bog... The three arms and eyes growing in the backs of our heads are making us a lot braver, plus the webbed feet makes us great swimmers /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif (They're all from Crowland anyway).
You're all bonkers... N it's great!

Same here, having more fun now than I ever had when I was younger, and it's not even an issue of finances. Freedom possibly ?, but I have no idea why really
