Yes, I agree and there are more knowledgeable members who left for the same reason.

If you fork out for a brand new set of yachting wear, how long does it take until you're no longer a "yottie"?

Blasted spell checker changed "yottie" to "hottie" which would have been an entirely different discussion!

Hottie is definitely a disparaging turn of phrase……..for a hottie ……..out dam spell checker

Used to be recognised by a dress code including red trousers, yellow wellies and a Breton cap.

Nowadays, someone who stares at a screen whilst afloat.

Some of us who are short of hair need the insulation of the Breton cap.

What about my fishermen's smock?

The word is GROCKLE, not crockle.

Oh I dunno! Looking at all the Zimmer frames and mobility scooters in seastide towns, I reckon "crockle" is quite appropriate.
