A breakthrough in self-sufficiency
« on: August 03, 2008, 10:00:21 PM »
Dear All,

Roland and Hayley made a really excellent piece of history today: They sailed successfully with a home-made spinnaker.

Maximum respect!

Spinnaker appeared really suprisingly good. I need to get some pictures of it set before I confirm it really is finished.

Many thanks to Contender Sailcloth and Alverbanks (well Debi actually) for all the advice. If anyone else feels brave then get in touch, I now have a Contender link and am happy to use it.

Rest of sailing an absolute mare. Failed to finish a really Cherub friendly course after a 30 minute trawling exercise. After extensive debrief H&I have identified the main issue effecting our racing. This week we will try to get to bed before 1am each night and maybe take a day off - we both have bags under our eyes and are limping.

I might make a jib. Mine is only made up of 3 panels with some reinforcement hear and there so it will be a lot easier than making a spinnaker!

Dear R&H Solutions,
Although your recent breakthrough in desired time management is encouraging, I would like to bring your attention to a verbal based interface at our Weston Office that identified the same issues.
I feel it is time for more practical ways of solving your work life balance.
I must admit to very little idea on how to stop the R branch from problem solving I do have a long term soloution for the H department.
It is illogical that even the most drastic increase in relationship advice will make a dent in divorce rate, so my solution is to remove all priest, registras etc from the London area therby removing the need for divorce.
I do not expect payment for this advice as I feel the smooth running of R&H Solutions will be to everyones benefit.
Regards,
