I suspect we wont know till the fat lady sings - at Parkstone on October 22nd. http://www.merlinrocket.co.uk/reports/st_thoughts.htm |
yeah,lets do a crew's silver tiller! |
It could be called the silver spinnaker pole! |
Only if there is a prize for crews over 45 |
and just in case GGGGG is approaching opr past that, let add male crews over 45 who crew female helms under 18. That should clinch it - if not add 'related by birth'. |
There was a proposal in the mid sixties for just that though it was the prize for the crew who's name appeared on the trophy rather than an invitation to crews moving around,(It's hard enough to keep a crew these days, it was just a bottle of bubbly and then a vase in the same glass as the then decanters,(A Silver Trophy, (A spinnaker pole was considered too suggestive in the "swinging sixties") a cash sum was provided but it came I think to naught? A good idea especially if linked to the winning boat(s) and helmsman/woman. |
...the silk toestrap? Silver shackle-pin? silver spinny sheet (has a nice alliterative wotnot) |
How about the Silver Guy? Could be modelled/sculpted along the lines of the Oscar. |
Isn't that a bit sexest? |
Silver Pole Sound good. |
Could'nt Silver Pole be taken in more than one context? I am sure i would get more than one comment when i told my friends i had won 'The Silver Pole Competition'! |
'silver snodger' sounds good. |
What about a pair of silver earplugs!!! Practical AND decorative!!!!!!!!!!!! |
really tho, i think we should have something. |
Ellie life 'ain't fair! But I agree the loyal crew who sails,helps rig,reads sailing instructions, shares driving or map reads, even pays the odd bill for a whole season, just like the owner/hemsman should get a trophy, but I would caution against "odd ball" names, funny at the time but; when you too are old; would you want the f***?? trophy on your side board? |
No ever said it was going to fair! http://www.merlinrocket.co.uk/reports/st_results_after_hampton_wembley.htm |
