[SOC] Wogs & All That

Wed, 19 Feb 2003 18:10:39 -0000

Hi Ian and all
I sail a J/24 keelboat, world's most numerous and widespread one-design class of
fin keel racing yachts.
There a lot of J/24 in Australia,
One came to UK some years ago to compete in the J/24 World Championships, UK
hosted that year.
She was renamed by the crew
' Convicts on Tour'
So if you go south and on a long way right round  there is a special class of
wog to be found

Most sensible observation...

I think the reason for quiet [mentioned here or another list] is people are
*very* introspective at present.
