Was it just the Pimms I had consumed last night, or was the magazine really amusing? Well done Pat, and all the contributors, it was a cracking read.
Can't believe Bob Lobby has infiltrated the magazine now as well. I do my best to kill him off, but....

Very funny and a good magazine yet again. Had a few good chortles over the bookies form guide. Can't recall if the rig tension guide was on page 3. We don't have tension measurers like that in Aberdeen - it's too cold everything would get stiff and brittl and snap off. Seriously we are sweltering here for the past 3 days at 14C and a sea fog you could slice through this morning on the way to work. I really pity all you guys having to put up with all that heat.

I am already testing out the new way to test rigging tension as demonstrated by the nice lady in the photo. Anyone else tried it yet.....

Dear Minx,
Will you be demonstrating the technique at Salcombe?

Dont think Merlin Rocket decks are built to take that sort of loading on them

I think they could support the Minx :)

I certainly look forward to the next issue when presumably she will be demonstrating a stripping technique prior to varnishing.

Ok I can get another photo like that but I may need to instruct a photo shoot. I happen to know a photographer rather well so if I can have a quick straw poll as to whether this would be a valuable investment of class funds I'll go ahead and find source some appropriate models.

Alex you are just looking for an excuse!
Mill Bay beach would be an appropriate location, I feel

That's what I say when I'm testing the rigging.

So did Mr Oaten return it to you in a plain brown envelope?
Posted: 06/07/2006 09:15:15 By: Really impressed now |
Doesn't Mr oaten allegedly or at least admittedly have other attractions, perhaps it was.........
