Vorpal Blade 89 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hmmmm, lets see the boys get home from school at 3:10, then we need to get to dinghy, they need to clean the bottom and unload all of summers cruising crap and we just might make it! Link to post Share on other sites
MrWolf 0 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 On the Sailing Instructions it says 16:10. Has this changed to 16:00? No its 1610 to be precise! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hmmmm, lets seeclean the bottom ...! cleaning the bottom is against the rules of rum racing, so you should have a few extra minutes to crack a pre race woody Link to post Share on other sites

Next time you're not racing, try and stay clear of the start line and boats that are.... Dan Link to post Share on other sites
johnMi 2 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Dan I was about to jibe to get out of there when the prick (or prick with him) started to verbally abuse me, I made them understand that I had the rights, then jibed to get out of the way, only to be attacked with rather nasty hand motions from some of the crew. Doesn't pay to do that, cos that's when I jibed again and and really pissed them off. Whether a boat is racing or not, port gives way to stbd, and if someone pisses me off, I tend to go for revenge. So be it!! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 John, to be honest what the hell were you doing there anyway? There's a whole harbour full of water to sail on yet you reach up to the pin right on the gun, then try and sail through a fleet of 20 40 foot boats. Nice work! Link to post Share on other sites
Clive 13 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Come on guys… chill .. it’s Friday, the sun is out… well nearly and we'll all be out on the water soon having fun... Link to post Share on other sites
