Fook me, bet that cost a few notes. My step dad is dead into sailing.

What do you do out of interest? To end up on stuff like that!

yes, I have a bit of a rep for climbing stuff, mostly freehand! Think Id be wanting two halyards for going up there tho :P been up the mast on a 72 footer before but it was probably half the height

Did someone jam the spinnaker or did the guy just happen to be up there when it was going up/down?

Saw ICAP on her way into Southampton Water on Sunday, on her way back from the Fastnet. Hell of a thing to see, and she was proper stonking along too - they had just the right day for it. Would love to have a go on that, you're a lucky man! Closest I got was helping to tow Lionheart, an old America's Cup 12m, across to the IOW when I was about 12! Good times!

I know fuck all about sailing other than the object is not to fall in the wet stuff, but that looks like a great place to spend some time.

Cool job, im sure the perks like that make up for the pittance they force you to live on

I reckon I would, I quite like taking stupid risks, but I guess it doesnt look as big in the pictures as it does in real life

Yeah but you'll probably only fall into the big puddle thing if you fall off anyway so I still reckon I would give it a go

or if youre like the fella I met a couple of years back you fall off and hit the stanchion holding the lifeline and get carted off to hospital with that through your thigh (lucky) and spend 2 months in a wheelchair

also, water wouldnt be comfortable after falling that far, so just dont fall!

If not it will be through the hard stuff, then into the wet stuff!!!!

Looks an awesome machine though, how much time do you get to spend on there Lee, and where do you go in it? (serious question as i know fook all about boats!!!!).

Any jobs going at ICAP?!!! Possibly fancy a change from SCB soon!!

I hope you are taking a decent sized crew with you. After 3 bottles of champers I don't think you'll be much good on the ropes.

Good luck with the mast climb!

It can't be very good if everyone has to sit on one side to stop it capsizing.

So youre overloading it by 8000 tonnes? Probably not the sort of thing your company would want on the internet!
