davey1991 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm not a sailist although i do very much enjoy it once in a while. But i am a jetski ist. Yamaha VX700 and a little stand up racer project coming on. 50 on water in less time than it takes to blink is painfull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Haha, I know Sam Knight, not personally very well, but I have some very old friends who used to kick around with him/might still do. He was after my time. Skoze where do you boys sail these days? Me and my sis are going to take a 500 out soonish and I want someone to make me look bad, I haven't sailed for years and apparently you know your shit, not interested in ANYTHING to do with racing, I just want wind waves and wires.

JD™ Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Everytime I see this thread I have to resist making some sort of comment about the title leading me to believe this will just be full of conversation about pissing on each other. This time I have failed to resist. SO WHADDYA DO IN HERE, TALK ABOUT PISSING ON EACH OTHER?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man, it'd be good to see Ali/ meet you, has been far too long. I'm sailing at Thorpe Bay still, Jon's down in Emsworth so we don't sail together all that much. Truth be told we'll probably be even worse unless it's properly windy - can still mix it with the best of 'em when it calls for it, though If you weren't so far away/ i found out when it was earlier i'd say to get down for the Nore Race at my club (ish) it's about 20 miles all round the mouth of the Thames, really really good race to do but f**king tiring, always seems to be stupidly windy too which is good fun. 500's are a dead fleet now though, would say get to some open meetings but there aren't any Edited June 15, 2010 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I thought it was just kicking off?! How the hell did it die again so fast? 29er take off again? I remember when that was just a 10 boat fleet haha, those were the days! Im proud to put my name to the crowd that made fast fun and serious!

Skoze Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Nope, been absolutely dead from the start really - RS aren't putting anything into it and it's now just us and a load of f**king good 200 sailors who are doing it for a laugh. Really is lame. 29ers are still going very strong, it's weird to see all the younger kids starting to sail 'em now! Awesome boats, just never bothered with the circuit or anything as i didn't want the RYA to take over my life as it did so many of my mates' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I love people who run in the air while their jumping! I've had 2 nasty jumps off the peir at Leigh, a 10 foot fully tucked swan dive into between hip and nipple height water, which ended taking off the bottom skin of an arm and a bit off my nose, and a backflip up not out, where my head clipped the side....... NIIIICCE dont do it kids! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Second sail in the Moth today, got my tacks to starboard dialled, but it refuses to go left without falling over Upwind it's pretty rapid, downwind was impossible first time out but i've got it pretty much now - gets utterly mental in the nice 20mph gusts downwind, fell off the back a few times :$ Acceleration was surprising to say the least! Gybes are gonna take time though, it kinda went gybewaveleewardwingintackbigwavepitchpole. i've never been so confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
