Posted by Danny Posts 13 Registered at 2010-03-19 09:27:58	2010-06-11 18:33:31 - Posh Yacht club or what?
	Hi Everyone My name is Gina (which came about fairly recently after a drunken visit to a tattoo/sex change parlour in Singapore)but enough about that! I like enjoying life and take the mickey out of anyone mercilessly. I can also take fun being poked at me, whether its my sailing ability or my sense of humour, which are probably equally bad. Anyway, I hope this isn't one of those posh clubs where you daren't raise your voice without eyebrows being raised. After a few glasses (or bottles) of wine, I love a good laugh !! Anyway, whats the lowdown on the racing here - whose the one to beat (not that I have any chance ...). Looking forward to the race this evening (any idea how long its supposed to last?) Cheers Gina Skipper - GinaT PS Why haven't we got any "smileys" on here? --- Last Edited by Gina at 2010-06-11 18:33:54 --- Danny

	Hello Gina, There is plenty of humor and laugh at the chat room, you may need to be there at the right time. Usually late at night. USA night. Take a look at the SYC Ranking for an idea who is who here. Regardeless of your sailing abilities there are plenty of competion in the middle of the pack as well. Before I forget, people here seems to like Rum and Mermaids. Welcome to SOL. Antonio --- Last Edited by zero at 2010-06-12 22:08:29 ---

	Hi Antonio Thanks for the welcome. I'll try the chat box, but I don't really like them as I can never remember what I've already said GinaT --- Last Edited by Gina at 2010-06-14 15:53:11 --- Danny

	Hi Gina, welcome to SOL racing. One of the beautiful things of this "society" is that membership in SYC is not mandatory for participation in racing. The membership is really affordable and gets you into the ranking system. POSH - NOT? The chat rooms are full of fun, knowledgeable persons with a genuine will to answer all questions - novice or expert.
