Alan re: No 6 of your bottom 5 I'd pay particular attention to your wetsuit.... I blame it on the boat-packing-up assistants being bored of waiting for others to finish beer.

[barnsie]

And knowing that lot, don't forget to check the boat as well .

Dave/Johnny, down one kite, boom etc at the Merlins (DNS, OCS, 2, DNF, DNS, DNS). So he'll be looking to getting back a nice clean and tidy boat
