Who is coming down this weekend then?

There should be three Porkinz boats there, it was great fun 2 weekends ago, Bacon rolls for under apound as well so no excuses.

Chris and I will be there with bells on, 10am start though so don't be late!

Anyone need a crew for an odd day in December?

What I lack in skill I make up for in enthusiasm to go out when it's freezing cold...

I will be there. Although my dry suit hasn't been out the bag for about 3 years, and I'm not sure I cleaned it when it went in, plus I'm pretty sure it's got a big hole around the neck... Brrrrrr!

That's for your head to go through - it's obviously been a long time......

Just gaffer tape it to your skin to make sure the seals are still watertight....

Oink oink

Another great dat at Chichester, 
Come on down folks its a great blast.

hi guys, any one need a crew for the odd one or two snowflakes? i quite fancy some merling sailing! xx

Somebody please go out and beat my brother, he's bliming well leading it at the moment. Just think what his ego would be like if he wins it....

Don't fear Ross, if Simon turns up agian in Samrt Tart with the Phil Factor and gives us the same cuffing as he did yesterday then it'll be his ego rather than mine that you need worry about, horizon job dot com!!

Just to big up the 'just about Yoof Squad'

It was a great advert for the class when 69% of those sailing yesterday were aged between 13 and 33. 

The other 31% still looked fitter and more nimble than a lot of the other sailors around them.

To quote Tom who was sailing with me "It must piss those 400 sailors off seeing us all buzzing around them having a laugh, no wonder their champs numbers are dropping"

and did you hear the aggressive shouting from the 400 helm to his crew !! no wonder their fleet is shrinking, no softly spoken encourgement that goes on in the Merlin Fleet.
 I confess to being some what older than 33 and wished I had discvered the boat earlier and learnt how to sail it!. As a newcomer to the fleet I am Just loving it....Merlin 3586

There was one 400 out there that spent the whole race either screaming at his crew or luffing us! Pain in the RS but didn't stop us from having an awesome sail!! the more the merrier...saturday night social in hamble next time, come on down!
