Speed Tips

Make sure your rudders are aligned and, if you go to an event in England, make sure you put the right connector bar on your boat, not the one from one of your travelling companions that is 30mm longer. If you do that you are quite likely to have the worst result at the Nationals in your sailing history!

Yes, but the Most Improved is a lovely cup and Erling has to be favourite next year.

I think we have a Ducks nomination.

My traveling partners have sabotaged my sailing before by putting my rigging on upside down, so think I need to look for new traveling friends.

We've dropped you until you can get proper transport anyway.
