    I doubt that Peter has forgotten what it was like when he was young. Even I don't think I have. The quote about "old and bold..." was originally about aviators. TS Eliot knew about "Cats" so maybe was also an expert on multihulls...????

    But what we remember is often selective! And I can still remember when I thought 63 was old.....

    I resemble that statement!

    However the bilge rats are insulted !
