Author Topic: vacancy on the fron of the yellow peril Al S Posted: 07-Nov-07 10:54   Edit   Mail   Profile   I've been poached by a B14. Been fun at the events I've been to this year, but I'm off to sail something a little bit faster. Even if we did put in a less than sparkling performance first event out (I think you guys had more wind at Bewl valley for the inlands than the Ovington fleets did at Grafham).   Lloyd Walker Posted: 07-Nov-07 11:03 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   Sorry to hear that you'r off Al. One thing, have you seen the size of B14 crews? No offence but you are about twice the average weight! In light airs don't you have to sit in front of the mast?   Al S Posted: 07-Nov-07 20:47 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   aye. My helm's not exactly light weight either- we're well aware we're at the top end of the weight range. But even the light crews are in front of the mast in a drifter.   Lloyd Walker Posted: 08-Nov-07 08:13 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   perhaps you should sail one each! Better still buy an ISO.   graham_737 Posted: 09-Nov-07 14:29 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   I thought it was you whom i spotted Al... http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/?article=139091 Lurking on the back row there next to our buddy Mark Barnes. Ask him about the boat he used at the endeavour if you're spare some time. Not that i've been bored on the internet but i also believe that Mr Lindley has been on t.v ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-ceBBVtt40 (skip to 5mins 30 secs) Ever thought of a career in television Pete??   Pete Lindley Posted: 09-Nov-07 17:43 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   Ahhhh the Laser 5000 Eurocup! That was a good event. Nice and breezy - made a change I had to do some work at the front instead of standing at the back having a cuppa. Nick did let me have a steer in the last race though - on the condition I didn't make us swim and we maintained the decent results (result was upright and another bullet). http://www.isoracing.org.uk/downloads/garda_laser5k_2004.jpg Well spotted Graham!

Maybe they could have had a translator; Can't be that hard to find someone who speaks northern?   SpellerMike Posted: 10-Nov-07 03:49 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   Did they find enough bods to fill the podium spaces?? - Oh and I hope you got those rack settings right this time Pete...   Pete Lindley Posted: 10-Nov-07 12:02 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   Just! http://laser5000.lasersailing.com/results/2004_garda_report.html http://laser5000.lasersailing.com/results/index.php [Edited by Pete Lindley on 10-Nov-07 12:03]   Bob Ladell Posted: 11-Nov-07 23:56 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   Ah those were the days Pete !! Free and easy to focus on important things like sailing - and beer ..........   graham_737 Posted: 12-Nov-07 18:19 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   I have found you on another video Pete, but i'm not really sure i should share that with the rest of these innocent iso sailors.   Pete Lindley Posted: 12-Nov-07 19:16 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   Sounds dodgy - so don't bother - whatever it is.   SpellerMike Posted: 13-Nov-07 05:49 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   Something to do with a red hanky Pete...   Pete Lindley Posted: 13-Nov-07 15:53 Delete    Edit   Mail   Profile   I'm nothing to do with that!
