We had a caption contest last week at the expense of a few serious looking sailors doing something mysterious with a Force 5 sail. Just to show that I allow equal opportunity to make fun of Laser sailors too, do please give me a caption for this Laser classic.
WOA! I think I got some kelp!
ReplyDelete"Boards clean."
ReplyDelete"I love seeing he wake from this perspective."
Anonymous strikes again.
"Straight leg hiking...NOT."
ReplyDelete'Bet there's an easier way to close the bailer on a Force 5'
ReplyDeleteDamn, I lost my new orange glove.
ReplyDeleteLook-out! Tillerman's taking photos for his blog - hide your face and show him your.......
ReplyDeleteor
Oh no! Hat's blown off again!
or
Where's the dagger board gone?
Eighth reason why Force 5's are better than Lasers.
ReplyDeleteCoach Alvaro demonstrates the little known reverse hamstring stretch yoga position at his advanced Laser clinic.
ReplyDeleteLasersick?
ReplyDeleteIn these conditions, you'd think the poor guy would have enough boat speed without having to clean the bottom on every **%$%^*! leg!
ReplyDeleteIt was so clever to put an electronic tactical compass where the fleet measurer wouldn't find it, but ... ease of use is just a bit of an issue.
ReplyDeleteFried Onions and Baked Beans topped with hot sauce for breakfast helps increase the wind strength for those days when you are slightly under powered.
ReplyDeleteDoes my bum look big in this?
ReplyDeleteHow many more times do I have to do this before you have the right shot for your freakin' calendar?
ReplyDeleteDamn! I didn't see this coming.......
ReplyDeleteThe coaches thought it was such fun to tell the newbie that a 360degree penalty turn meant rotating the boat vertically.
ReplyDeleteThat's better, now I can see where the leeward mark is!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is obviously a Farce-5 sailor who has borrowed a Laser.
ReplyDeleteIf he were a Laser sailor, his tiller would be hard to starboard to induce a 'round-down' maneuver out of this death-roll. As it is, instincts being what they are (to hold on to everything), this poor chap will have to buy the owner a new tiller to replace the current one when it snaps off. (I've seen this happen so many times with beginners.)
Sorry, this has been more of a prognosis than a caption!
"Opps! I guess I had better read more of Tillerman's blogs to see how it should be done!"
ReplyDelete"Bloody Lasers! I think I'll find a proper boat to sail!"
ReplyDelete" Well thats the last time I take Tillerman's advice!"
ReplyDelete"Gagh! Too many glasses of port last night..."
ReplyDeleteWhere is my mobile; need to call Steve Cockerill (Rooster Sailing) for advice
ReplyDelete"Is my bottom clean?"
ReplyDeleteI can has KAYAK?
ReplyDeleteHuh?
ReplyDeletewell, OK, see, it's like a lolcat, only with a Laser, and see, kayaks are SUPPOSED to roll, and...
ReplyDeleteOh, ok, maybe it wasn't that funny.
