I bought YM today and was amazed that page 10 reads like a list of Bluemoment 'A' listers!!!!!

I forgot to check Readers' Boats - Silkie will be pleased.

Text reads as though at least 10 people on board Silkie whilst sailing up Sound of Mull.

Maybe Silkie is 22 metres LOA, rather than feet.

Congrats to Dave.

OOOOO, is it worth rushing out to buy one?

Would that be next month's March issue with April on it or this month's February issue with March on it?

Maybe I could stand in Smiths and read page 10.

Prob not - headline story includes Contessa 32 Vs Bavaria 32 - Which scored highest?

Would that be next month's March issue with April on it or this month's February issue with March on it?

That'll be January's with February on the cover - Look for £90,000 Contessa 32, GiGi, on the cover.

Maybe I could stand in Smiths and read page 10.

That's the best bet.

I could scan the relevant bit if anyone is interested.

Spell Check in Word doesn't like all these [], but it did correct 'relevent' to 'relevent'....

I'm trying me, my mum says I'm very trying.

Oh dear, someone told me there's a picture of a tw*t in pirate outfit...

Yes, did the parrot survive all the way across?

Yes please Ash, just until I can get out to the shops tomorrow morning. What time does WHS open on a Sunday?

It'll be interesting to see what they've made of the text. I sent quite a long spiel (sp?) after their initial request for a bigger copy of the pic. Dick Durham 'phoned and said he'd lost the text but if I re-sent it he'd call me back for a chat about it. I never heard from him again so what they've used will presumably be a precis of my original text.

PS - Thanks for allowing them to use your photie Nick.

I had a look on the online version today. The "users boats" bit read OK apart from it suggested that everyone on the CC09 was on one boat, I presume it was the CC09, the SB Clyde cruise had different folk on it.

Come to that it's a bit of a cheek that the CC09 cruise was made out to be a YBW event, I believed it to be a Bluemoment do, but I could be wrong I often am.

I didn't find any parrots or pirates so I'm going looking for a paper copy tomoz.

If YBW are taking cedit for the Chentleman's Cruise then I am afraid we may have to take the ultimate sanction.

(This involves Claymore, large quantities of Laphroaig and some industrial strength duct tape, but I don't want to go into details on a family website)

This is probably 'too little, too late', but for what it's worth.





Note to YM - These images have been scanned from my bought and paid for paper copy. The quality is only sufficient to encourage others to go out and buy a copy of the magazine.

Ash

PS - You might note that YM has changed the name from CC to GC.

MMMM, booze and bondage, sounds like fun.

I'm more fascinated by the Silken One's profession - furniture retail specialist.

As a young man working in a restaurant in Chamonix to fund my chosen lifestyle, I classified myself as an Underwater Ceramics Technician

It did sound better than a washer-upper.

[Silkie]

I see my deathless prose has been in the hands of the (non-sailing) sub-editor. Indeed it would appear to have been sub-edited to the very edge of meaning and beyond.

Just think, if I ever want to sell Silkie I'll be able to say "as featured in YM" in the ad.

PS - Thanks for the scan Ash.

Aquaplane being from Yorkshire would never ben seen dead parting with more than a florin for any publication (unless it had wipe-clean pages)

So I was dispatched to Leeds station on a train - which involved having to share a train with some wags* from Dewsbury - and I have re-mortgaged my boat, Ruddy, for a copy of said YM.

I also think some praise should go to the photographer who managed to capture said moment in such high quality and definition at, quite probably, some considerable risk to himself.
