You didn't try and luff it did you?

Well we called starboard on one that size (lost our marbles I think :P) & it did give way to us ;D.  The 10 plus crew on the windward rail also gave us a wave, but a small one so that their boss didn't see it :K).  I was in a GP14 though so we looked a bit tougher, I was't, as still have difficulty moving which is why I can't fit in the N12 at present.  Great weekend & didn't even see the bottom of Angus' boat so dodn't know what his teeth look like.  Duncan

Sorry Angus, meant to ask why you didn't pass them to windward, did you think he would luff you ?  :'(   Duncan

To be honest Duncan we thought we would get a G & T out of them if we didn't take their wind.;D
