YM March p15

Mike Ritchie.

Nice Guy.

Brilliant navigator.

But why did he wear his Musto fleece inside out?

Do you know the answer?

Aside: March YM, it's early Feb?

Para wears his y-fronts inside out for the same reason

They are his and he can if he wants - so could Mike Ritchie
At least he didn't marry Madonna.
QED

 

[fireball]

Ah - he wore it inside out because he was too hot and wanted to cool down ... knowing that the inside of the jacket gets hot when warm he concluded that if he wore it inside out then the heat would disappate into the air and thus he would get cooler ....

well - either that or he spilt his dinner down the front and was trying to cover it up!

Used to sail Jester across the Atlantic in his slippers!

We saw him and Jester at Penzance many years ago, where he berthed on the outside of a big raft. He came ashore in almost a straight line, straight through any cockpit that suited, occupied or not. None of that etiquette nonsense for him.

That's not lack of etiquette; it's downright rudeness.

What is the difference between etiquette and politeness? Being polite is doing something (or not doing something) out of consideration for others. Etiquette is just rules for rules sake, like not putting your elbows on the table.

Just seen it for myself. Looks a lot to me like a layout artist has flipped the image round to make him look into the page rather than out. Common trick used to make a page look better. Also not uncommon for someone in a hurry to finish a layout to miss something this obvious.

Unless of course everyone realised this all along and were just having a bit of fun, in which case sorry for stating the obvious. (Is this some form of reverse Lakesailoring? )

 

[Twister_Ken]

Not only that, they did it twice. Later in the mag, also.

Wasn't there a glossy boat advert a while back that had the bicolour navlights transposed? Might have been Beneteau.

Have you noticed that cars in TV adverts almost always have registration numbers made up of horizontally symmetrical characters - H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y, 1, 8, 0 - so they can be flipped and shown as left- or right-hand drive?

NO.
