Friday evening at the welcome party..

"This room could be some people's worst nightmare." (a woman sailor)

"There's too much testosterone in this room.........and I'm not talking about the men." (a male sailor)

"I'm going over to ask that piper if he's single and available. He's hot!" (a woman sailor)

"Well, I'm going to find out which ones have nothing under their kilts!" (a woman sailor) ... note - she reported back!

On the water..

“His ass was SOOoo…. there” – the woman sailor that reported back about knicker-less kilts

“That Sail is Gloriously OVER-Trimmed” – from a yelling stick holder (I.E.FEMALE SKIPPER) across the water

"I was wondering why I was having troubles pulling up my underwear until I realized that they were on sideways!...
At least I didn't rig the chute that way!" (a female sailor)

"This sailing is intense!!!!!" (a 4-year old spectator)

"Hey boys.. if you can't find the mark...just follow those girls ahead of you " (male sailor to another male team during regular KYC Wednesday night racing.)

"I can't figure out why all these girls are dragging buckets behind their boats" (a male spectator)

"If you think men are competitive you should see these women." (a male sailor)

"There are too many Type A personalities on that boat." (a woman sailor)

"How ironic that they are our charity. I look like one of the battered women NOW Canada raises funds for." (a woman sailor)

"You guys rock!" (a male sailor to a women's team)

"This was a very interesting regatta on many levels." (a male race committee member)

"We need Richard Simmons on our boat, we`ll need a good laugh when we find out we`re last." [a woman sailor]

"Another general recall! But I only had enough adrenaline for one more start!"

Off the water..

If you cant be first - be spectacular. If you're going to be last- Hit the committee boat! ( a female skipper)
