Mostly with the intention of causing them some modicum of inconvenience (having to wind down their window to put it back) for the inconvenience (at best)/ danger (at worst) they have put me in.<br/><br/>Again, parked cars.

Where did you learn? I lived in Wicklow until relatively recently and learned to sail there. I came up in plastic, beginner-friendly, dinghies but did sail a Laser Radial later, when more of my peers dropped off and it was harder to get crew for two-handed dinghies. 2024-08-01T18:23:59+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvwskelqcu9v89j6vcv6wk88088ynmqegjupdgxjduz8amajt0alczyq6xmr9uwsfykkmrvn40zr8t6lcyq5dmqmpzek5cu3n8t9fr3j35g355xuf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs86zz0f65t38t6khhjc7ll7tke7z0275f8dfmlen32p9yquywu7tsyvkqdv'>nevent1q…kqdv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There&#39;s some info on the pages linked from this one, that might help some of this come together for you (if not I&#39;m happy to try clarify what I can): <a href="https://paris2024.sailing.org/paris-2024/equipment/">https://paris2024.sailing.org/paris-2024/equipment/</a><br/>3/2 2024-08-01T17:44:45+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs86zz0f65t38t6khhjc7ll7tke7z0275f8dfmlen32p9yquywu7tszyq6xmr9uwsfykkmrvn40zr8t6lcyq5dmqmpzek5cu3n8t9fr3j35g4lh7kv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0fattxred9kj7d76gfvypcyh762hran9yaa5mymd8xwjr4tcs7rc8k5tye'>nevent1q…5tye</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Different classes have more sail area, but the Laser is a single-handed boat while there’s helm and crew on the skiff and multihull boats, as well as trapeze lines to help combat the sail area in reasonable or high winds. The teamwork, extra sails, and trapeze mean that the other classes are actually rather different and weight may not be a primary consideration in selecting a class to specialise in. 2/2 2024-08-01T17:39:50+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0fattxred9kj7d76gfvypcyh762hran9yaa5mymd8xwjr4tcs7rczyq6xmr9uwsfykkmrvn40zr8t6lcyq5dmqmpzek5cu3n8t9fr3j35gvdhyw4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxr37jlnywq4kza5d2pd8twgra3gek4wd55r3pqev6mx2l4qzfntgpcrjde'>nevent1q…rjde</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>they don’t divide further. For the dinghy class events, the boat is a Laser which comes in Full Size, Radial, and 4.7 sizes. The smallest is a kid-sized sail, really.

Men are given boats with bigger sails that can be difficult to keep down below a certain body weight, where women have sails that favour people who are lighter, and possibly less tall too. The hulls are the same, but the mast and sail have a big impact and are different.<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/887/329/929/028/834/original/6d452c7b175243ae.png"> <br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/887/329/945/674/996/original/22a758abb6a93901.png"> <br/> 2024-08-01T16:52:37+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspr4zrh547gdk5mp6ssg78vev3n227sdnmyuapxn3w2yjyjg8g3fgzyq6xmr9uwsfykkmrvn40zr8t6lcyq5dmqmpzek5cu3n8t9fr3j35gwm6kry In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv2a2v43lzaa4057ae5au29ryuesxdlwj676na9prer4w3nx4ulyqamyxlz'>nevent1q…yxlz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it’s shocking to me when people give out about immigrants or people of colour to one of either group.
