Suited swinger

Sailboat racers were having so many protests they brought a full time lawyer on board.

On a budget, Australia's manually-guided anti-ship missile scores direct hit on hull and sinks yacht.

"I don't always go sailing, but when I do, I always make sure to make the best impression.
Now can you please hand me my Dos Equis".

Got too close to Wellington Point in the WAGS yacht race last Wednesday. Picked up an unexpected guest.

The new keel modification made Frank's boat very competitive jumping the sand banks in the Surf to City inshore fleet

The name's Bond. Allan Bond.

Hey Pete, look at that ship on the horizon, I'm sure the bottom half of the hull is out of site!

That's good

I'm suited for foiling.

It was sad to see the growing sport of IMOCA 60 Freestyle fade so rapidly. Especially considering Alex Thomson had just perfected the Southern Ocean Switch Kona, in a suit!!!!

Sure it was fun now, but Stevo wasn't quite as happy when they gybed.

Yep, that hop over the boat takes a lot of practice!

You guys keep a bloody good eye out for Dolphins.

Just in case you haven't seen it.

Ahhh yes. Let me help you out.

First you need to send off your winner's fee. Best way is just PM me your credit card details and I'll take it from there.

Then you need to find a picture to which people may or may not be able to post a funny caption to. The picture needs to be :
a) not yet used in the last 467 caption comps (most people ignore this)
b (i) ) watersport related (this is tricky so most people ignore it)
b (ii) ) and preferably allows the piss to be taken from kiters (this is easy, anyone can take the piss out of them, like candy from a baby really)

In order to ensure you have complied with a) and b) I can run a computerised check for you, cost is minimal. Just PM me your credit card details and I'll take it from there (best if you have a second card for this part as the first one may be maxed out by this time).

Then you post the picture here with the title "Caption Comp 468", sit back, relax and enjoy the humorous responses as they come flooding in.

And then in a week or so (most people ignore this) you determine a winner. Based on who is funniest. Personally I always think everything posted by that Carantoc person is the funniest. I just love their stuff. Awesome.


Oh - if any Yanks respond with some convoluted rubbish then don't get upset. It is not that they are being rude, Yank's just can't do comedy (well, except slap-stick where they vote for presidents and the such like).

(P.S. Canadians aren't much funnier, but at least they aren't Yanks.)


Glad I have been some help.

And then in a week or so (most people ignore this) you determine a winner, announce it at the end of the thread and then send a PM to the winner to make sure they know they have won, so they can start the next CC.

Mev, In case that was as clear as mud, I have underlined the important bits for you

Thanks carantoc. A clear and erudite description. Stay tuned for my hopefully original picture and my Nigerian bank account details.
