When you own a boat, you experience two days of great joy. The day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Chartering is the way to go.

...hmmm that's what I thought about my house.

Hey Milan

You still got your Torpedo Boat hulk that you're intending fixing up??

Yeah, he keeps his imaginary boat in his imaginary pool behind his imaginary house.

In fact, Milan is Threaded after a diet and I claim my 5 quid.

SASG, you don't have to pretend to be "Captain Jack" for us to believe you're an effeminate fop!

Sunsail are pretty good. However in my oppinion if you've got the time and money have a chat with the guy who runs this outfit... http://www.canarysail.com/

I personally recommend them.

Looks fantastic and very good value, I may do the introduction course in bristol and then give them a call but I'm worried the wife won't be that interested as it looks very focused whereas the sunsail one does have other activities, time to butter her up me thinks... or I'm off on my own.

to you budding sailors....

What do you have when you see a white light followed
by a red light and the occasional ring of a bell ?



and the answer is....


a bicycle

just make sure you don't get it wrapped round your prop.

I once saw somebody who had a tyre round there prop,
very unfortunate

Milan.

I had a rope for a lobster pot wrapped round one of mine. Luckily no damage to engine or prop - can't say the same for the occupant of the lobster pot... Spoils of the sea and all that...

I have and there are sailing courses in Bristol docks which is quite local to me so I just wanted to know how good these courses were, also anyone been on one of these holidays? http://www.sunsail.co.uk/clubs?gglbrand This might be the ideal solution to learn and keep the wife happy, and certainly beats the docks in February!

Milan.

A rare vision and hearing disorder brought about by too much wanking?

a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into

that said, here's a test question for you wannabee sailors
out there:

The old man is a RYA Instructor, I've sailed since I was 5. The courses are good but like private tuition depends on the person/people teaching. Best bet is to get down a sailing club and ask them for who is good and local at teaching.
