Well Chaos,
You are driving around in the lower half of it ! and 'Pretty '
is not always the main criteria , just look at 'Ginge the Tadpole', yet he is capable of winning races even if it is in an old barge from the eighties....

So I rest my case and wait a riposte of 'manufactured' evidence from the Shepperton Mafia .

Mike

Mike, I was only larking around. I'm well aware that the 26's used the 27 cruiser hull mould. I've never seen a 27 in the flesh, but (from the few pics I have,) I always thought it'd have to be a boat you enjoyed the performance of (if thats a diplomatic enough response?). As for the "driving around" bit, thats realistically about 2 seasons premature

Funny you should mention the "old barge", as I'm now up to my neck in helping Stewart with the reserection of "warlord" for marathon purposes(further stopping the 26's progress!). Caught between a rock and a hard place you could argue!

Now, that's the second documented dig at craft from London Road!

'We', the supporters of the Sittingbourne masterpiece, will continue to occupy the moral high ground as we always have/will, this, by refusing to employ the cheap, easy and misguided approach of 'dissing' the competition in an effort to convince the populous of our superiority, perceived, actual or otherwise.

'We', would prefer to stay silent in our usual way, and let the onlooker decide freely themselves, based on their own observations, coupled with maybe the official record of our humble successes over the past 4 decades in Ski race, Offshore 1.3, 2.0, 4.0, Cruiser and class II, and of course, OCR, where 'our' dominance for 'decades' is, as you know, the envy of many designers/builders and seen by most as simply legendary.

regards

The Tadpole.

PS. it maybe 'from' the 80's, but is clearly 'of' the present.

Now as you well know Mr Tadpole, I hold the designs and build of the Marque from Kent in very high esteem as also do I for Steve himself. It would be an unwise person to attempt to knock either man or machine from that esteemed Company. However as you also well know I do take great delight in teasing you and any cheap shot that gets you rankled and spluttering in support of your chosen poison is OK with me.

On the racing front we also have had a 'Modicum' of success over the years
with championships at regional,national European and world level and speed records also but there is no need to 'crow' about that .

I sincerely hope that for our owners/supporters sake I will now not be kicked off the Phanmad Forum in a fit of pique exhibited by yourself.

Yours,

Mike ,

Bingo! ..A Bullseye.

Thought that would wake you up.

I love it when a plan comes together, don't get too serious now Michael, it's Christmas you know.

BTW, I suspect that even 'as we speak' Steve is selecting the unfortunate Horse, who's head is to adorn your pillow for such hideous blasphemy!

Careful now, this 'pondlife' might just swim past the L-A 'King Koi' in it's Sittingbourne Barge when the going gets tough.

Imagine that! Taking a scalp from the class above, my god how would that look. I wouldn't wanna be a crew member on that shamed craft.

Imagine too if you will, the size of the notch that would get carved into a Sittingbourne bed post. Jeez, I'm embarrassed just thinking about it.

Dont talk yourself into a hole .(Bravado outstripping capability)

Your 'camp' followers will be looking to you as the 'Ginger Messiah' so dont start promising things you cannot deliver !!!
We will switch one motor off to run some of the course with you in our 21st century design.

I'll tell Pops Lloyd what you said and he will probably choke on his Viagra laughing !

He showed his 'metal' in the Poker Run with fellow racing stalwart David Graham-Smith..

Luckily, it was late night closing at Drivers Wharf.
