7:20 Rival Spirit, Rival 38. Dark blue hull and tan sails, ISC handicap 0.949. You'll notice us, we'll be the ones doing lots of shouting at each other whilst making a confident passage into every wind hole and patch of foul tide on the course.

Best of luck, the weather is looking interesting!

but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

Oops. Our class start is 07.10.

I just can't wait to hear what you're going to say about this....

[Talulah]

Are you sure? I don't see Binkie II in the list.

I'd assumed that the time you put up was when you expected to be overtaken by a blue hulled, tan sailed Rival 38....

6:50 Moody 44 1.024.

A nice bit of wind would certainly help me as I seem to have quite a high handicap..

We used to pretty good, but that was a while ago, pre weddings, kids etc... Saturday will show whether age has improved us, or not.
