Hi Gordon - well done for running a good event today AND FOR FIELDING A RECORD 5 BOATS FROM QMSC. Congratulations also go to Erling for getting 4 members of team Shanklin to an open meeting for the second time in consecutive events. Next time I tack in Erling's water I'll wear ear defenders - for the next few hours!!! I had difficulty in concentrating on my lunch - such was the onslaught from Erling and his little rule book.
Ray Gall & Philip Howden's absense was noticed AND NOT FORGIVEN!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers
Bob
PS the entry fee was a bit steep - did we have to bribe the club for the use of the lifts?

Gordon replied:

Thankyou to every one who came along..even though it was absolutely miserable weather first thing this morning.
I hope you all had a good sail.
Sorry about the ?15 entry fee, I suppose it's the London area.
And Bob, I heard the 'onslaught' from Erling. Did you come out on top? Do we need to change the results????

Bob replied:

On top was not how I would have described it. Humbled may be but then again he did not protest so the results stand.

The whole nasty business unfolded before my very eyes, the good news is that I can be bought --- payment in beer please!!

Erling replied:

The trouble with the old chap is that he's still using the 1960 rule book he was given when he started sailing and so I like to let the old boy into the new rules before I protest him the next time we meet at a bouy.

Bob replied:

1960 edition, indeed! My version is printed on parchment
