Ra Chentleman's Cruise 2009

[claymore]

Not having the best of days and having had a Skype conversation with a very depressed Shard who seems to have upset most of the American Bankers with his keynote speech on ethics - my mind has taken to thinking of the Chents Cruise again.
So - similar format - Claymore will not be in scottish waters at that time of the year - Are mi comprades up for a share of Alba's finest again?

There are 2 conditions:
Muzzy's wife says he's not allowed to jump into moored water taxis and Dear Heart says I have to do the driving.

If El Claymore isnae being weilded in Scotland's dim and dank coast and chartering is happening anyway, tthen why don't we fly aff tae somewhere warm and sunny insteed? That wid gie the fleet of depressed retirees somewhere tae aim at .. and we could have a wee bet on the race outcome of the race tae ra sun. My money would be on DaveS tae get tae Bodrum furst!

Or at least not in the same format. Yon Med is no place for a chentleman. Chavs Cruise perhaps??

The CC can by definition only take place in Scottish waters.

Its always good when we have an ageing sage who can quote extracts from the articles of memorandum and our constitution - safe hands there Nick - onyways, Jamesie in a kaftan is mair than I can bear.

Glenalmond

A fair to middling public school which makes the spelling all the more surprising.
Used to play you lot at ruggar (I'm talking about the 1960's; Loretto, in my case). Were you in the First XV? What position?

My apologies. Watched the fly on the wall doc about Glenalmond on BBC2 last night. Appears to be a top Public School nowadays. Interesting that it was established by Gladstone to inplant Englishness into the Scottish middle classes but now appears to have a majority English pupilage and staff judging by the accents.

Anyway, glad to hear, Nick, that you're a public schoolboy; my kind of chap. Ignore the lower orders when they whinge about privilege, arrogance (and deviant practices in the dorm). It just jealousy.

[jim.r]

How much do you would you be prepared to accept for yer boat?

[ljs]

20K for the boat, 3k for the new hot water and 12K for the eberspacher - well thats what he quoted me

[claymore]

I said 21 fer the boat

[Telo]

Have we fixed a date for this highly prestigious event in the sailing calendar, or are all too scunnered to even think about it after the joys of this August, September, October, November.....?

[Silkie]

Not only has the date been fixed but the forum is up and running too.
