Well, we have a crack crew /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif for Burnham Week, including the cream of the East Coast Skippers.

We are boldly voyaging into mountainous ripples, 7kt winds and 22 degrees. Our largest issue will be outunning the mozzies.

For every kg I throw off the boat, I have replaced it with corpulent muscle to sit on the rail psyching out the opposition with a sneer. Grr, Grr, Grr.

I could hold a one man boot sale with the offload, and Full Circle's bottom is gleaming shinier than a slippery Eel.

We are serious, we have sunglasses, we have crew shirts, we have red wine, no oops, err, we have umm, a Spectra flag halyard.

The opposition wont see us for dust, even if they look behind them.

We are looking for a Pennant or two this year, and enough Class places to get a glass or two each.

Wish us luck, we are all on a Pimms Foie Gras diet now, this is SERIOUS.

You've nae chance.
Traigh is fully tuned up, why I've even shipped the lightweight racing wine glasses.
And all my crew are cracked, [or at least have them]

Where is Pile House by the way?

You need a real boat name like Vindicator or Cocksman or sim'lar.

Ha! we own the river, we are insummatoruvver. So bring it on you Traighs.

It's a furrin name, North British I believe, so it can mean anything I choose!
I can spell it but not pronounce it.
We're in Class 6, the Old Farts Division, senior citizens always have right of way.
Only doing the weekend, so the others will have a chance to win something.

Next year chaps, next year. The barnacles on the centaur will be so highly polished, you'll be needing all those fancy sunglasses you will. Just wait. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
