To 49er or not to 49er

I’ve had a couple of people ring me in the last week wanting me to put some time into crewing on a 49er in the lead-up to the Europeans in March. Some people must think I know how to sail or something given the artificially-blog-inflated-profile I seem to have.

It’s pretty late in the game to be stepping onto a boat with any expectations of doing well… considering it’s an Olympic year and all. That and I haven’t got the build to do it brilliantly (I’m going to attempt to go sub-70kg for Weymouth).

And that thing called work gets in the way as well. And the upcoming JJ takes me out til the end of Feb. And a new Moth on the way by the end of Jan.

It’d be nice to train up with Nath, Ben and Emmett, but where am I supposed to fit it in exactly? And how am I going to pay for it?
