...... Oh... it's never your fault is it!
-
I have told you before, don't take your eye off the kite or it will colapse
-
I know to finish it's the first part of the boat across the line, but this is an expensive way to win races!
-
Told you we shouldnt of brought this rs.
or
Told you we should of brought a cherub
-
Bloody SMODS, always breaking on us...
-
Every heard of irony ?
-
like coppery, leady, aluminumy, you mean?
-
Even with the proposed rig improvements it has proven impossible to get an RS200 over 15 knots.
-
One got out at Weston and Tim came over to me and said,
"That RS200 was flying! It looked like a Cherub!".
Any way, it's a 400 Roland ;). Do you think a couple of fatties like that could sail a 200?!
-
"I know I said drop the mast forward a bit for more power downwind but you just take the biscuit!"
-
What do you mean when you said "I'll pay for any damage" If I can borrow the boat for this weekend.

Would you like a dictionary definition ;)

I will start you off with
Lucy was certain that her hat would get her noticed at Ascot this year
-
with some encouraging "put your hands up in the air" dancing in the background, lucys training to appear in Rocky 7 begins.
-
"Will! One more cheeky comment from you and you can wave good bye to your brand new carbon toy." >:(
"In the orange corner, weighing in at an undisclosed amount. Luuuuuuuuuuuucy Lee. aka ATLAS!"
-
Lucy; 'No you can't have it back until you say sorry'
Will; OK! OK! you don't need my help to lift the boat.
Tim; It's not that important! I dropped the pound in the tank by accident. I don't mind if you keep it.
-
".... and now clap your hands"
-
Quick guys, help me hold it down before it floats away! I can't hold it down much longer!

"Sure for women unbeatable protection what ever you do"
-
"Right, so let me get this right Lucy, you're going to launch off the old sofa cushions, clear that Audi and land in the Biffa bin, all whilst holding a Cherub?"
Or...
"I don't care if you told me that using Superglue to stick the progrip down was a crap idea, just tell him to come in a bigger bloody ambulance next time!"
-
Tim; It's not that important! I dropped the pound in the tank by accident. I don't mind if you keep it.
I think we have a winner
-
Thankyou.
i don't have any decent photo's here to post so to keep this excellent competition going please will someone feel free to post a new picture.
-
caption away.
-
"i've seen lasers sail like this loads its something like...."
-
"if only we were in suicide blonde this wouldnt have happened"
-
the bear-away technique explained:
let some sail out, heel the boat to windward and the boat will... OH blast, lost the helm again! One more time then!
-
perhaps this wasn't the best day to practice rudderless sailing...
-
i think phil has to be the winner on this one, pretty much my thoughts exactly as it happend, annoyingly we were leading the race and the f**king rs200 in the pic who was a lap behind decided to tack round infront of us just as the gps hit 15kts, so we had to do an emergency gybe with lots of kicker on and neither of us were ready, resulting in the dip shown. bloody wimps in rs boats tacking round a gybe mark pfffft. see lots of you at weston later
-
I've got a photo but no idea of how to post it on the new website.

[2657][/20080520a]
A new photo for the caption competition.
-
well almost ;D
-
sorry,
I stuck the photo on the list last night but can't log on to the main site and acces the list from work. it's not on my boat page but is on the list under 2657. if you have time you are welcome to find it and put the correct path name in otherwise I will try again this evening. I am more at home with sticky fingers than playing with computer software.
-
I take it this is the one;

Tim aims to make his fortune as a carbon-lined chimney sweep
-
Tim:- "God i hope they don'y forget i'm in hear before they seal the vac bag!"
-
That is the one. Keep the captions coming. This was taken during the renewal of Tim's foredeck. from a sticky point of view it is a lot easier to work when gravity is on your side and when you can see what you are doing.
-
Matt,
Your creative caption get's my vote. I assume you have a few photos now to set the ball rolling again!
-
Well I won't add a caption as it looks like we already had a winner but it looked to me like Tim was auditioning for a part in Mission Impossible 4!
"This foredeck will self destruct in the next big gust!"
-
Here's one:

Close, but no cigar...
-
With all his new found spare time Ross tries his hand at making musical instruments. Unfortunately he hasn't yet cracked the triangle.
-
Ross grimaced when he discovered exactly where in the patients body the item had been removed from...
-
Zena suddenly realised the major draw back with her ground breaking genital jewellery concept.
-
"This intimate self-portrait portrays the artist at the height of his creative powers, allowing the viewer a little way towards understanding the private, thoughtful, Ross Burkin behind the public 'artistic genius' Ross Burkin we all know."
-
B@//@(#S the rope was too long!
-
I thought I'd revive this thread with...
(http://www.sailingsource.com/cherub/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=158.0;attach=488)
Any responses of:
"Look, there's Stu with a camera!"
or
"Oi Tinner! Don't you point that bloody camera at me!"
will win no favor with this judge.
How about:
"O dear, we appear to be sinking. Just like his boat"
-
Lucy: "I don't know what you are laughing at. Look all the way over there, almost over the horizon: You can see Pete and Roz"
-
Who eat all the pies?
-
L: 'Watch out, we are about to be Tangoed'
W: 'Aaagh.....too late'
or
'Your UK Cherub fleet needs YOU'
-
"We need to put more malt loaf on the front"
-
"Whats that man doing to that sheep at the edge of that cliff with rubber wellies"
-
If you look really hard.... up there.... in that garage.... you can see one of those Banshee's.
-
Maybe putting all the lead in the back was not such as good idea?
-
L: 'Watch out, we are about to be Tangoed'
W: 'Aaagh.....too late'
And the winner is... Pete! (where have i heard that before?)
Don't forget it's the winners job to provide the next picture.
-
Here you go. Hmmm...
-
Spiderman has to find alternative transport when realising there are no tall buildings to sling webs to out at sea
-
Fathers for justice take time out of their busy schedule to enjoy the beautiful English summer weather.
-
Spiderman underlined his feminine credentials by only sailing a boat with color co-ordinated foils.
-
My spidey sense is telling me the height adjustment wand is out the water which means I'm about to wipe out.
-
Spidermans real identity was revealed this week after Peter Parker packed his sailing bag in the dark... "I just picked up what I thought was my shorty!"
-
....." I got flushed down the plug hole and this is where I ended up...honest officer!"
-
....and the winner is, after a close conest, nothing between them, it was a close call, by a whisker - Tim the Cougar Noyce, why are you a cougar?
That day, July07, I realised after returning ashore that the centreboard flap (that is linked to and controled by the wand, to automatically adjust ride height to lift the hull to about 1-2ft only, and as the wand goes vertical, pulled fwds by bungee against the resistance of the water, the flap stops providing lift) had disapeared and probably came off during launching. So the wand was doing absolutely nothing all day! Height was controled by stepping forwards and backwards - I thought it was being badly behaved! Although a little precarious was still suprisingly sailable.
Then Spidy jumped aboard to complete a mission. He could just about see where he has going thru his mask but struggled to breath when it got wet.
From the outset it was suggested that this would be a Superheros fancy dress class, compulsory in the NOR for racing. Imagine 16 Superheros flying around a course. But others failed to embrace the concept. Something for the Cherubs to take on....?
-
Excellent story Pete, I think the lack of cape gives Spidy an advantage over the rest of the other superheroes.
-
Yes - also no sidekick gives Spidy a v good foiling advantage. Imagine how the fantastic four would get on......

Not sure they'd get air borne with the 'thing' on board....!!!!

Any thoughts
-
we've had the bat-skiff picture, upping the odds roland goes for the pallet-skiff or is that wood to make sure it floats?
-
"Oh look," said Hermione, "under all these pallettes I've found just what you need - a Cherub."
"Be serious!" replied Harry, "I can't ride that in the Quidditch final tomorrow!"
-
After the recent unsuccessful attempt to legalise Sikh funeral pyres a secret underground Norwegian sect are trying to go one better.
-
"Seeing the range of tools in the workshop and being rather frightened of surgery the part built Cherub decided to hide under a pile of pallets."
-
Slowly but surely, in the primordial soup of the abandonned print works, the pallets started breeding. It was only a matter of time before they evolved into a more advanced form.......
-
R: What colour scheme should we use for the decks?
H: Why don't you make use of an artist's pallet?
R: OK. In fact I'll use several.

Elly's owner used a grinder on her just because he didn't like the shape of her tail!

Another caption competition revival!
-
It's not how big it is, It's how you use it!
-
Hey, check out the downwash angle on this baby!
-
"Yeah...well...yours maybe longer but mine has more girth!"
-
Pete and will show off their entries for the 'new board for club oppies' competition.
-
While Roz and Lucy went off sailing, Pete and Will were made to stay ashore to do the ironing.
-
"Staying at the front of the fleet is as easy as adding an extra foot to your dagger board"

"Staying at the front of the fleet is as easy as adding an extra foot to your dagger board"
Stu Tinner for the win!

-
Never new you liked Iron Maiden, or is 666 the length of the board?
-
Eddie is Tinner best mate!
-
Stu is very pleased with the board he shaped despite losing two fingers in the process
-
Here we go again:
-
crew: what are you doing?
Helm: sorry im only used to tacking a finn
-
I do hate early morning sails
-
As the wind is so shite, let's try sailing rudderless!
-
She floats!
Now where did i put the champagne and glasses?
-
Illustration of the more restrained "English style" bear away.
Not a perfect example as the teapot appears to have parted company with the deck.
-
Here we go again:
I'll put this thing on the end to get rid of it. Can you do something with that plank. . . I think it fits in hole near you. . . Now what are these car keys doing down 'ere?
-
And the winner is....
Mr Kirk!!
I like your style. We did have a compartment for a couple of cans of Tennents in there at one stage, but champagne in glasses trumps the lot!
-
It's that time of year again. Short days, crap weather, too many mince pies and not enough sailing. So, the Caption Competition is back to see you through the long winter!
I'll start it off with Australian Cherub 3129 "Dragon Slayers" at the 2010-11 Nationals, held at Largs Bay, Adelaide, South Australia.
-
Simon says.... Hold on for dear life.
-
You jump from a plane, your parachute doesn't open then you land on a boat! What are the odds on that?
-
I said BAIL, not Bail.
-
After accidentally letting slip that he knew about that private little tattoo belonging to the helmsman's girlfriend, Bruce decided that this would be a good time to swim for the beach.
-
After many years of crewing in silence Steve finally made good his escape!!
-
There's klingons on the starboard stern starboard stern, there's klingons on the starboard stern, starboard stern Jim.
-
Fledgling Cherubers preparing to leave the nest.
-
This new non slip is s**t!!
-
I said BAIL, not Bail.
Thanks folks, excellent all round. Born Slippy's was simple but very effective, so I nominate him as winner this time - which means it's your turn to come up with a new picture R., or open it up to all comers if you like.
:) :) :)
