Windgat - J22 185

Boat Name: Windgat
Sail Number: 185
Bow Number: 14
Sponsors: RSA Security, Tipping Point, AdaptiveMobile

Recognisable by: Spectacular Broaching, Colourful Language, Occassional Nakedness

Crew Members:
Steve Thysse, Skipper:
Steve is the oldest, hairest and loudest member of the Windgat crew. Easily recognisable by his lovely flowing locks, constant fug of fag smoke and passion for swearing, Steve is reknowned for his optimistic approach to mark rounding and spinnaker drops. Of indeterminate age, Steve lists his hobbies as ****ing drinking, ****ing fighting, ****ing smoking and ****ing.

Rob Watson, Midships:
Rob is the token Brit on Windgat. Recognisable but the constantly dazzling reflection from his unprotected, follicly-challenged head, Rob is usually the target of Steve's choicer comments during a regatta. Rob is also known for his complete lack of balance, meaning that midships is the logical place for him. As the only non-Afrikaans speaking member of the crew, Rob gets paranoid when conversations on board are conducted without him understanding what's being said. This is probably with good reason.

BJ Smit, Foredeck:
BJ is the baby of the crew at 17. Known for his passion for hair gel, staying up late and rapidly increasing height, BJ only started sailing in February. Targeted by Steve as something of a protege, BJ is led astray on a regular basis by the skipper, normally in the pursuit of female sailors and various other forms of trouble. BJ is neither Steve nor Rob's son. He's also certainly not Steve's younger brother, whatever people are told.
