David Head, defending champion of the JMC, commented today that this year's crew is the best it has ever been his pleasure to command. Never had he seen a crew quite like it, said David in an interview en-route to the shower block at Yarmouth Marina.

Crew members were heard to say, 'I have to the the TV working in time for Strictly' whilst another felt it necessary to differentiate himself from fellow club member Richard Lindsay, as being his younger & better looking brother.  Such devotion to the sailing tasks given to the team demonstrated throughout the day the lengths the team would go to in order to impress adjudicator Mike Errey.  'I'm 48 you know but look much younger' said Errey who has clearly been impressed by the sailing skills he witnessed today.

The crew got off to a flying start today which prompted Skipper Head to comment further 'The early bird catches the worm and succeeds at the spaghetti quiz' whilst summing up the days efforts to the crew.

Head & his crew of 4 thoroughly enjoyed putting Modernistic Lady through her paces even allowing her to touch the bottom.  This was thought to be the fault of one Less Harris of Great Hollands who planned for five boats to moor at Wootten Creek without enough depth of water for any of them.

The crew are greatly looking forward to another successful & hopefully victorious day tomorrow.
