Re: RTI - deathly quiet hereabouts

Not even a whisper from the Yachting World team on their home page either?

What Rugby?

Was there some Rugby being played somewhere? I never saw any mention of it on any sports news. Now if Wayne Rooney went to Wimbledon, that would be headlined.

Re: RTI - deathly quiet hereabouts

We in the rest of the world have been waiting with baited breath for tales of derring do from our rich distant cousins in the Solent who braved mountainous odds to race for glory in the RTI.
24 hours later...... Nothing. Harumph.
One broken genoa sheet from boatless, no mention of line honours taken in class.....

Re: RTI - deathly quiet hereabouts

Ah, thanks to boatless. My kind of race result. If you win, you tear up the town, but then modesty bars further extended discussions in pub. But.... if you break something and come second or at least in the chocolates somewhere, you can while away endless hours in the bar on the what ifs and onlys. Well done. And not coming first means Skipper not having to fork the entire restaurant/bar bill. An English Gentlemans result.

Re: RTI - deathly quiet hereabouts

Yes, it was lucky that it was just a sheet. Otherwise we obviously would have had to break something else, which would probably have cost more. It is essential to have a tangible excuse.

Meal out? Had a few beers, ate the left over rolls from lunch and collapsed, knac****d, into bed at about 10.

Re: Ummm...

Nice pics, even have an article on how to win the RTI.

Especially like the comment about not running aground at Ryde Sands as it slows you down Doh/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
