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.

Re: Finding the Hercules dismasted,
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.

Re: Finding the Hercules dismasted,
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.
