Double-handing a 6m Waarschip monohull on the southern side of the Isle of Wight, with me in the cabin, a downdraught off the cliffs laid us flat for about 30 seconds with the mast touching the water.

Commodore at the prizegiving after a 75 miles regatta:
“And the prize for the Best Navigator goes to Charles Thompson of “Sundowner” – pause accented by polite clapping – “who attempted to cross the finishing line at 2300hrs about 1 mile south of where the race information indicated it to be!” – Thunderous clapping and cheering!
