Sailing in the Olympics
 

Well it seems that Britiannia still rules the waves.
See
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olym...ng/default.stm
for the full olympics medal table.

Great Britain heads up the table followed
closely by Australia and the USA.

I'd like to publicly congratulate both Australia
and the USA for such a magnificent performance.

It is really nice to see the top three positions
are by Britain and her ex-colonies.

It's a real pity that Australians cannot feel
the pride in Britain's performance that the British
feel about Australia's performance. See the following..

Friendly rivalry Donal.

BTW maybe the IOC will now realise that the 49er is the unreliable
unstable POS that I've always said, and drop it.

Very well. The weather has been awful both last
summer and this summer. I've only been out sailing
4 times this year.

How are you keeping?

So you are pleased to see that GB has got another Gold in sailing?

I'm not really familiar with the boat. I realise
that the Danes lost their mast, but I don't know anything
about the circumstances.

Thank you, thank you! (bows humbly)

Yeah although Spain did pretty well, her former colonies didn't.

Well, until a better skiff one-design comes along that becomes more
popular, the 49er is "it"
It's an exciting boat to watch, at least... more so than the Tornados
IMHO.

Interesting controversy with the Code 0 sails, I'd have thought they'd
be the nuts for light air. Am thinking about getting one for my boat,
but after seeing the poor results, maybe not.

Doing well... thanks for asking. I've been doing *a lot* of sailing and some
travelling with the same two people (Alaska recently). Nobody believes me
that the weather was so great when we were in your area. I have to show them
pictures.
