Jings! Well, I met him briefly a couple of years ago; wouldn't have thought him a day over 70 or so. Happy Birthday, Jim.

Commiserations. Five places is a bit extreme though - racing, or just lousy weather? Either way, a bummer. Hope it's fixable.

Just the UV strip I believe but don't open any other posts on the East Coast Forum since they are being spammed with some paticularly horrible porn atm - seriously.

Seems to be a major attack on all the forums now with stolen mod/admin access and multiple user ID's.

Wow - hardly a genuine post in sight now. Amazing post rate on all sections.

Re: I don't beleeeeve it!
Hmmm. We've also had to get ours repaired again (just done last year) - the strong winds in early part of the season put too much strain on it.Silkie wrote:Just the UV strip
BTW, there is some really disgusting stuff there on YBW. Bloody awful.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't mean YBW is awful - it's the cyber attack that stinks. Not nice.

I'm still sticking spinnaker repair tape on mine but it's getting to the silly stage now.

Re: I don't beleeeeve it!
Would I be right in thinking that you wouldn't recommend a UV treated area over a UV strip to anyone who might be specifying a new sail at the moment?

Re: I don't beleeeeve it!
I did wonder if it was the Jermain Catamaran ramming guy or the sea horse guy, but I doubt it. FWIW I'd have prefered to have heard "Jermain Catamaran ramming guy's" side of the story before his name was plastered on blogs and on the main site as 'news'.Silkie wrote:The YBW attack is starting to look a bit personal.

.
Who is Jermain Catamaran ramming guy? Did someone ram James Jermain's catamaran? I've missed it all apparently due to watching Torchwood.
Not many peeps would know how to flood a UBB board in the way you describe - I certainly wouldn't know how to go about it - so I doubt it is a pissed off poster from today - it is more likely to have been some time in the planning. It certainly sounds malicious though.
(Seahorse Man has had some time to put something together though . . . )
