a sailboat is one of the few things that can make photography
look like a cheap hobby.

I've always liked this definition of a yacht:

  A hole in the water you throw money into.


"Sailing is like standing in a cold shower, fully clothed, throwing up, 
and tearing up $100 bills."

Haha! Not much call for crew on the back of a Triumph I'm afraid. I
can only dream of owning my own boat.

After the theory course finished I went to help out on some of the
boats (changing old sails for new). You get odd looks lugging sails
around on a boat whilst wearing bike leathers for some reason... And
pretty hot work moving a suite of 11 sails like that; the No3
spinnaker was 45kg!

BTW I forgot to say before; good video report!

nice little name check for you at the end there. 

It's great to see it again - I still miss it every time I walk past where it
used to be here, but it's better for it to be at sea than in a concrete dry
dock, even if the mast does fall on people from time to time.

Really enjoyable report that.
