What is the perfect wind for a MAB?

[StugeronSteve]

Reading recent posts has set me wondering, seems as though they won't go in a light breeze, but won't tack in a stiff one. Is jimi's barrel the ultimate blue water cruiser?

I'm really glad someone asked that- thought it was just me being thick/ not in the right gang.

MAB Manky Antiquated Boat
UJM Universal Japanese Motorcycle
WART White Average Retractable Trimaran

Any more?

coconut? ah'd no be giving away onything wi that much hair oan in youse position ... !! ye'd look braw in yon and a lot better than yon deid sheep which yon skelpit has oan his bonce ....

manky auld boats have manky sails, a point missed by all other respondents. indeed, some owners get there sails from the outsize knicker dept of M&S. so, downwind?

Re: There\'s never a shortage...

of wind in the underwear on "Two J's".

I've tried the coconut, but it kept falling off me bonce and just made me look like that Elephant John bloke when it didn't. I'm seriously considering getting a dead sheep like young troll features'.
