Proposed Chbg trip, latest score

Re: hm

There remains the outstanding matter of your linear galley. Now of course, you might say that a linear galley tips to one side or another so what's the problem, all better access through having longer perimeter along a given workspace, allow others to help cook, that wraparound galleys are not a central design feature but squeezed in by boneheaded engineers with no idea of how to cook anything still less that having a freezer in a corner means that if anthing goes wrong it is inaccessible, and that trying to avoid anything that does leap off the cooker is impossible and dangerous in a wraparound galley whereas quite easy in a linear galley. BUT you, see, ancient nanky old crap boats have wraparound galleys, so you're just wrong, wrong wrong.

Invasion planning

It is important that we are quite clear in our planning the liberation of all the nice french food. I suggest that at the same time as people enter through the main door, some others should arrive through the side door and open up a second front.

Re: minor modifications for ocean sailing

Stupid of me not to have covered that point in my application. I will investigate immediate removal of linear galley though I suspect the fridge may form part of the structural integrity of the boat.I will position new wrapround affair as mezzanine floor, above the aft heads, though I worry slightly about windage implications of such a design. Dual use of heads does have its attractions however for constant stew-pot by day, possibly fondue by evening and maybe rumtopf for special occasions. Ecologically sound too? I will report back.

Re: jobsworth/committee structure

Committee - ooh I don't like the sound of that. It'll all be frocksnblazers and special burgees next, while the membership decamps to some other virtual yacht club where nobody minds if they scratch their derrieres in public.

Am interested in either weekend but need to return to the UK at the end of the weekend due to work commitments. Can get a long weekend if given enough notice.

Spoke to Nicho last night when I was down at the boat on the local Marina Storm_jib_up_the_jacksie Watch. His wife .. aka Marie the Maneater is anxious to know what weekend it is so she can get her toyboys lined up.

To get the max scuttlers into CHBG in one go, looks like a definite 11th/12th number

Re: jobsworth/committee structure

TK,

Would love to go, own boat a tad too small, so would be willing to be an enthusiatic crew for somebody else to build up miles, either date would be ok.

Let me know

Thanks

Re: Invasion planning

How can you open up a second front at the side?

Going private

I will ask Kim to set up a private forum with the names below, so you can work out when, with whom, from where, etc you want to sail. Given that Kim is up to his neck buying pints for S'Butters at SBS, this may take a day or two to appear. If you name's not here and you want to be part of it, please post on this thread or PM me.


Date for the max number of people in Cherbourg seems to be 11/12 October (plus or minus extra days by some to make it a longer weekend). Don't forget the possibility to arrive or depart by ferry if time is tight for you.

Rumour has it that Zefender and TCM will be joining forces to do a recce (or queer the pitch!) the previous weekend, so you might want to tag along on that one if you'd prefer 4/5th or if you want to do both (eh?).

Cheers

Oh, and apologies from David E, who used up all his SWMBO bonus points by going off on a golfing weekend.

Breakaway Expeditionary Group 4th/5th

It seems possible that an expeditionary force might well go over the weekend of the 4th/5th, probably taking the Friday off with an inexplicable disease that is cured by the following Sunday evening. Any interest?

This trip would be an alternative to the main group of the 10th/11th who want to wait until Fatipa (how did he get that name, i wonder) has had the photos developed from the wedding he attended on the 4th/5th.

So just who got the wrong date/month ???????????

Let's rephrase this. A secret raiding party of 2 descended on les parapluies de Ch... en pleine soleil and wished that they had brought their shorts prior to doing SERIOUS battle avec Les Douniers .... Snafu won

Did you know that a boat loaded with plus que 750 kg of 'le grand tax evasion de Monsieur Jordon Le Frown' is faster on the return leg than the outward leg?

TCM may be legato con brio for finding the restaurants ... C'est simplement un question de trouver ce qui qui est au milieu de Le Quai.
