a project I was working on last year has won an internal company award. The Prize? an all expenses paid trip to Cowes to spend a day sailing with the Team GB sailing team!

Should be a laugh!

4 man lasers I think? never been sailing, so it can only be downhill from this experience...

unfortunately he won't be there, thinks something called the americas cup is more important than meeting me. Idiot

Woohoo you, sounds fantastic, I really hope you get to enjoy the day, the people and the hospitality.. Get wet, smell the sea and drink beer..

Sounds like you'll be on an SB3 which is a smallish keelboat/big dinghy in the sports post category, they're fun and if it's windy you'll get wet..
Most excellent.

Wow, just noticed your post, warton. I should have made the proviso that I know little and care less about sailing. Apologies for my embarrassing faux pas.

Back to the o/p gloat - i would love to go sailing with Team GB, I've sailed against some of them in the past, but to get the chance on the same boat, enjoy it...
