"can you at least trim what's left of the sail?"

"that was the practice kite, right?"

"HOW much does a new one cost!?"

"I told you that cloth felt too soft."

"sail the cloth?"

[sailingk8]

Oh hell, I told you the double D cup wouldn't hold!

[Town Drunk]

Uh, puff on...head down a bit.

[Madmax]

"Check out out the new Airhead chute!"

or

Skipper "Rip my head off?" "That beat was not that bad!"

[Bowgirl]

Now do you understand why I wanted you to bring your sewing kit?

[tweaker]

Dude I love these new tear-away disposable chutes! They come down so easy. No more repacking.

[basketcase]

is this is how you do a spin peel?

[Crouton]

Damn, our chute's gone Anna Nicole Smith on us...

[Terrorvision]

Gosh, I hope the guys from Sailing Anarchy don't see this!

What am I supposed to do when the shoulders collapse?

[glug]

Not too sure about this new outleader kite

[remmie]

Victoria Secret's inspiration for their maternity range.

[SailorPaul]

Are you SURE that Hong Kong sailmaker knew you were talking to someone else when you asked about a "pressure relief valve"?

[2XD]

i'm a glass is half full type of guy, sheet on !!

[kite]

"trim!"

"shutup and drive!"

[ipexnet]

North Sails has revolutionized sail design once again.
the brand new 1/2-1/2oz

[Teaky]

There's no "but we've only got half a kite" in T.E.A.M., so get on the wire.

[Goonda]

I guess luff tapes dont stick very well to scotch tape.

[foredeckhell]

[RumSponge]

Well.... Time to hit the bar!

[strbrdtckr]

Auto-reefing spinnaker, anyone?

[Hobbs]

Hull speed it is then!

[Chubby]

'Dont pull that rope again'

[barkingmad]

Bloody apprentice sailmakers! If I have told them once, I have told them a hundred times! The f*king window goes at the bottom!

[jfunk]

Cheap shopping bags!!! We should have double bagged it!

[BigUnit]

I ordered the window at the foot of the sail.

[Wattie]

For windy wellington sailing, the local 470 class association decided a new heavy air 4\7ths kite for the 470 would be best.

[AussieSailorChick]

"The way I see it - it will still get us back to the bar! The glass is half full!!!"

[gethighstayhigh]

Halterneck is all the rage this year.

[Danneskjold184]

My favorite phrase I have said the 3 times I have blown out chutes (which were directly my fault):


"Well... (5 second pause) Shit."

[tospappy]

I know you have allergies, but do think the whole boat needs a face mask?

[Phil]

I told you to order a blue and white one.If its good enough for Mal and Nath ,its good enough for us.

[Spiky]

Could you please reread the trimming guide about opening the slot?

[wilton]

the austrians experiment with the latest trend in "improved airflow" off the wind...

[BillJe]

Think anyone will notice?

[Derek Grebe]

Just three months later, 'quick-release' underwear was in full production thanks to an epiphany on the water.

Supplied with Port and Starboard ripstop tabs for rapid deployment in even the most crowded nightclubs, the 'Air-Gusset' was proving popular in many shore-side watering holes.

[Yag]

"Time for the masthead kite..."

[DeadFuckingLast]

Introducing the new 470 depower-tool.
Crew: "Hold it there - I can handle the pressure now."

[StevenRolland]

I tell you, there will be a lot less healing on the reach.

[LakeMIsailor]

I guess Anna Nichole will get a new g-string

[T-bird]

Skipper, we have got another "cheap, slightly used" kite for sale..

So it was THAT those anarchists messed with in our trailer.

Skipper, this kite dont suck like it should do.

Skipper, got a plan B?

[Islandgirl]

" My wife is going to kill me - they were her best knickers!!!"

[Presuming Ed]

"Uh, skipper, I'm not sure going to La Perla for the spinnaker was such a great plan. I'm unconvinced by this new half-cup DD cut"

[Corey]

Um, maybe we need to re-think the .1 oz kite idea.

[Shipstores]

"Gust in 3, 2, 1..."

[FearBiter]

" GESUNDHEIT !!! "

[Cionn]

[Left Coast]

[offshoretiger]

Pole down a bit. Uh........... never mind

[snorky]

Crew to helm "keep pulling, eventually the watertight compartments will open, then we'll get picked up by a VOR 70"....

Helm to Crew.."just make sure you don't tell no fucker"

As

[MxThomas]

I see, that's what the sailmaker meant by: " the kite will shed power on top in the gusts."

[sailing punk]

"New demo kite for the 470 class relesed to day! comes with the new invisabul head panles".......... arrrr there not invisabul mate!

[sailing punk]

Diggity, diggity... it's just like peeling panties!

[bowmonkeynuts]

Dude our home made parasail kites gone wrong

[Dogfish4255]

[IrieMon]

"The Pamela Anderson"

[skiffboy]

Right - put up the womper!

[skiffboy]

[CaptKen]

I was told this race weekend is famous for it's topless participants, this is not what I had in mind!

[Kite man]

1) That's the wrong kite! The overhead kite is in the other turtle. Now we have two Kites and next time don't use the pole.

2) Look it's a Maxi pad with no wings!

[box]

After mastering canting keel techology and a stellar performance in the VOR, Farr Yacht Design has expanded business into the sail design world. Look for the latest designs at a regatta near you.

[bowmonkeynuts]

Damn IKEA, why is there always something missing from the box

[Saltfish2]

But it has zero tip vortex....

[Blinder]

Have you seen my Leatherman? I'm sure I left it in the spinnaker turtle.

[Roadie]

I thought you said we had an all white chute

[misthos]

Your resume said you had extensive sail repair experience. You have 10 minutes from the mark.

[Roadie]

I can't seem to get the top of the chute to fill

[The Condor]

Bloody apprentice sailmakers! If I have told them once, I have told them a hundred times! The f*king window goes at the bottom!

The winner!

[klury]

Skipper: $20 bucks if you can bullshit your way through this one in the bar asshole.

For those of you who don't know, this is a reverse "Atomic Wedgie"

[eclipse5499]

I told you not to pack your mamma's thong!

[joydot]

"This is the last downwind leg of the day, right?
Otherwise, this Is the last downwind leg of the day..."

[Hammer]

"470... I told you it was a girls boat, full of strippers"

[joydot]

"I've got good pressure, good pressure...uh...No, I don't."

[snipelee]

Head up? Head gone!

[Buford]

Fly the cloth! Fly the cloth!

No you idiots, not the friggin' table cloth.

[roshambo]

guy trimming is thinking "mmm... thong panties"

[Bowgirl]

Hey, you said the wind was better closer to the water ... I'm just trying to get it!

[Bodhi22]

Doctor, you're needed in surgery.

[Shaggy]

Fuck, The fucking fucker is fucked, get that fucker down u fuck.......

Shag

[Rum Runner]

Nothing a little duct tape can't fix.

[TheBoathouse]

Two days after all the crews put up the 700 Euro "damage deposit" at the World Sailing Games for the provided boats and sails Olimpic Sails passed out the "fine Print"

!!! WARNING: our top performing spinnakers are made of POLYESTER fabrics, which gives the highest performance being stiffer than commonly used Nylons. This allows the transmission of power to the boat earlier. Whilst the elasticity of Nylon has the effect of “absorbing part of the power”. POLYESTER spinnakers are VERY FRAGILE especially, when BRAND NEW. You should use them with all possible CARE and protect them from all sharp parts of your boat, including the Jib clew, the sail-bag, etc. After some use the polyester looses some of the finishing coat, making it slightly more elastic, therefore less easy to break.

(this is actually what happened and several teams ended up eating a lot of euros )

[Giddy Up]

What d'ya mean you boned up whilst sleeping in the chute last night!?

[PDG]

The new Wicked Weasel inspired line of sails; The Camel Toe.....Order yours now and avoid the rush.

[WORM BURNER]

WARNING TO ALL SAILORS: This is what happens when you hold the last 25% payment from your sail order

[ease hike trim]

"...something doesn't feel right. Slide aft a bit."

[prettyfly626]

"Holy Shoot"

Skipper to crew:" Have you lost your head man!!!, that is slowing us down" crew:" But the NorthSails tuning guide said this might make us fast...."

[mcscw]

Skipper: Let the chute breathe!

Crew: Uh, no problem!!

[ExOmo]

I'm telling you those fuckers over at North don't know what their talking about!

[Saltwater Cowboy]

"You were supposed to anticipate the shift."

[J.P.]

...What noise?

[Al Bundy]

So, do you think the pole is too high?

I’m not sure if this NOoz. head is doing anything for us.

Sail maker – “Trust me. The new turbulator slot technology is f’n fast! You’ll see when you set it.”

[Aperson]

The wind gods didn't like your stitch or glue job.

[OnlyWookiesAreTrulyFree]

Worst Regatta EVER! First my condom, now this...

[Hughie]

Have you paid for this one yet? .... Nope

[Prouda my Pickle Dish]

I think I better call Mark and put a rush on the new kite order.
