But Eric you and I know you are a better sailor after all you were the babe of a very good sailor and have sailed all your life, I have only recently started to sail cats.

You also know that I think the sail area we have is too much for the single hander and the next sail I buy will be equal to yours and then we go head to head ( and I reckon you should still beat me as experiance counts for so much in sailing ) .

The Viper was Chris Sproat who normally sails a Spitfire, a very very good sailor and he should do well.
