Oh, cock.

We've been allocated a boat in the Sailing Challenge.

It's less of a gin palace than a meths shack. It's 37' and has 3 double beds & a double sofabed between 8 of us. Somehow, we have to fit stuff for a weekend *and* a Gala Dinner in, not to mention the beer.

I thought yachting was supposed to be glamorous? What happened to the jacuzzis and James Martin? They're supposed to be standard equipment!

hmmmm, yachting and glamour are not things I associate with each other necessarily. Thing Ellen Macarthur rather than Brigitte Bardot... Also, remember to pack ginger biscuits. I suffer terribly from seasickness, in a family that loves boats. I have the wristbands and the root ginger to prove it!
However, once you've gotten over the sickness and the smell of the "head", there is almost nothing as glorious as coasting along by windpower, and plotting compas courses. You'll love it, it's physics in motion.

Sounds cosy. You could take Dean Martin instead, I think I may have him on CD somewhere.

Standard equipment traditionally involves sails, a hull or two, and about sixteen kilometres of rope, one jumbo bottle of unidentifiable spirits and a spinnaker.

As long as you have beer. Vodka is a more viable option if I'm honest though.
