There was something about it in Nick's Atlantic cruise blog too.

Thanks Aquaplane and Silkie. Can't ask for much more info than that.

Aagh! another reference to TOP. If you must refer to postings over there could you stick in the url, please? While I already spend much too much time there I am managing to resist opening a large number of the threads, based purely upon their titles - I realise the title and the content may only be vaguely related - and references like this encourage me to go looking which means looking at threads I may already have happily ignored.

That was cool! I can see me using that a lot for other idiots who don't do the obvious.
Yup, it was a thread I ignored and despite the bright spot of Nick's breathless prose, I'm glad I did but now I've read it and I still don't care why other people sail.
