Did that - took ages - now its saying i've got got a plugin error. I've never yet had this site working 100A1!

Ask Brendan nicely for some help.
I'm not technical I'm afraid.

I updated and it works fine.

 

[Csail]

All working, cheers, that killed about 1 hour!

I always thought it was pronounced l'ooard not leeeward.

Not a brilliant review. Get more facts on a Top Gear test or "Redecorate your home TV" What about the engine? Who made the sails , who designed the thing etc etc,

Also, since when has a 35% ballast ratio been considered "heavy"?

Why are you complaining to us we didn't film it??!

Try tellin the people who make the reports... /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I hadn't seen it before so thanks for that.

Pretty professionally produced and some interesting content. I'll tune in again.

I think it is pretty good. I downloaded it burn't it to a DVD and watched it on my TV, much better!

This was my first shot at a video boat test and I agree, it had it's limitations. I would be grateful for any feedback so that I/we can improve. Air time means these tests are always going to be less fact-full than YMs written tests, but a few more hard core details are probably needed - thanks for the help.

These days 35 per cent is definitely on the high side of average but the main point of the comment was that it is noticeably higher than earlier Bavarias.

Part 2 should be out shortly.

Glad to see your journalistic knives are still well polished, Michael.
