People tend to give me a mildly quizzical look when i mention that i go sailing. ("eek, he's a closet yottie..." etc.)

Well, as you can see, my vessel is decidedly modest. I sail at an idyllic spot in Suffolk. It beats Neasdon.

The dinghy is called a Laser. They've made 175,000 of 'em since 1971, and they're all identical apart from some minor changes, the most recent of which mean that mere mortals can sail them when it's breezy.

While we're at it, here are some other photos from Suffolk.
