The size looks right for a 15.

OK chaps. Let's have a bit of fun! I invite you to guess what was these two merchants were saying. Here is my submission:
"Next time we take the boat out, we'll remember to take both rudders".

My suggestions are:
"I spy............................ with 'S'"
"What's a righting line?
"Do you know something - you really have the bluest eyes"
"My feet are getting a bit cold"
"Do you come here often?"
"Shall I take you to the captain or shall I deal with you myself?"

Or how about-

We should have phoned Frank on righting tips before we left. (see tips)
Do you know a good divorce lawyer?

That one is down to me. Went out in too much wind for our abilities and ended up losing my crew after a pitch-pole and capsizing the boat twice trying to get to my friend.
The County Press have exaggerated rather heavily about the distance from shore - it was more like 600 yards - but I was really struggling to right the boat on my own the last time in a bumpy sea. I was more concerned about my crew who had been in the water a while; but in actual fact he was warm enough and slowly making his way back towards Shanklin.
The lifeboat crew were great, they picked my crew up then towed my boat upright and steadied it while I dropped the main sail. They then followed me while I sailed in with the jib. Best of all they didn't bollock me for being an idiot. That will be Erling's job...

Hi Liam,
If you're going out alone, it is best to pick a day when the weather is clement. If it's speed you want, then it is best to enter the club races, where there is rescue cover.
Don't forget to support your lifeboat, eg by supporting a lifeboat day, buying RNLI christmas cards, making a donation, etc.

Hi Liam,what day was it,i guess sat or sunday,its a good idea to have a few of you on the water if your pushing yourself a bit,masts do fall down some times which makes getting home interesting.The solent is a safer play ground bacause of the amount of boats about. Hope its not put you off.
Martin.
