Why don\'t we all

Charter Mirabella?
There's plenty of room for everyone so we could sail her, the motostinkieboaters could sort out the engines and the PBOers could fix anything that breaks.
$250,000 dollars for a week is going to mean around $1000 each which is about 500 quid - give or take a few bob - what do you think?

Re: best of all

Oh well, forget it - as with so many other things - they do believe they invented sailing.

Re: Invented Sailing?

Well, I think what happened was they watched the British Skippers sailing them off to shackle dragger land and then had a practice or two once they were there.
Rather like the Rugby and the Cricket - some time later they burst onto the scene all wisdom and knowledge re-invented as masters. There - thats my take on it.
D'ye know it never came light on Saturday!!
The boat you admired at Melfort is still there - ther are two - one sailed by a girl who has some physical impairment which necessitates her using a wheelchair - it's brilliant to see her out sailing - and she goes out in all weathers. Say's it gets a bit damp as there is just a flush deck right back to the cockpit.

Re: Invented Sailing?

Rain was so thick on saturday I'm surprised that any light got through. Miserable day in Glasgow shopping. Then onto CCC Dinner.

I wondered about the mini-Soling look alike.

Get much done on Claymore? How was the Cuilfall (sp) Hotel? Mclays ale if I remeber rightly...

Re: Invented Sailing?

Well, i think that's a very fair and balanced analysis. They also won the americas cup a while back BUT then it turned out that the owner had pinched the money for the boat, so that doesn't really count either.

There's a disabled adventure-boat in lymingtonish i think, with a special side opening to the quay, so they scooted on and off getting ready. On their return i saw one person WALKING off the boat and thought - A Miracle! - but it turned out he was from elsewhere, delivering things...
