(errm .... well; sort of ... ahem!)
This is the current league table of those members
who have had one of those little mistakes or errors
that get talked about back in the clubhouse. In
other words this is one league table you definitely
don't want to come top in! Perhaps there will be a
prize for the league winner at the end of the
season.
To Qualify as a Sailing Legend you need to:
a)
Have performed an act of stupidity or
silliness with humorous consequences for others (not
necessarily the performer)
b)
Done something that you really should have
known better you shouldn't have.

Ben Saunders |
Ben took his laser out one day and managed
to break the kicking strap, so therefore
retired, he then took out Alan's Hell cat
and he managed to snap one of his bridle
wires so that the mast nearly fell down. |

Michael Lenon |
On The Open Fowley race Mike Managed to sail
straight past Fowley island, so he followed
all the other boats (which were on the
'Round The Island Race'). When our patrol
boats caught up with him, He Was waiting for
the tide to drop so he could get under Kings
Ferry Bridge! |

It’s rare for a single incident to produce so many
legendary occurrences but this year we had the
honour of witnessing such an event. The incidents
within the Vice Presidents Cup final race will be
talked about for many a year.
