Greatest achievement: managing to sail a Firefly and stay upright.

Greatest underchievement: must be producing children who also sail Fireflies and drink far too much.

Bulletin Editor
Rupert Whelan

Send Email to Rupert Whelan

Rupert was stuffed in the front end of a Firefly when he was 9, and so far has only managed to crawl to the back, where he dreams of one day being good enough to be on the same leg of the course as the winner of a Nationals race. He is happiest sailing in no wind on puddles or rivers, and finds wind and waves very scary.
Greatest Achievement: 2 consecutive years of drinking 100 pints at a Firefly Nationals, way back in the mists of time.
 
Greatest Under Achievement: Managing not much more than a tenth of that at the 2009 Nationals, and still being hung over after the Pimms night.
