There is another European pirate group that wear brown and black.

I spotted some of them at Challenge Denmark and 70.3 Swiss & German races. They don't stand out as much as the yellow PSOF kit, but guess they can disguise G.I. distress issues pretty well!

Happy to help any Pirate with Sherpa duties.....although I'm still testing the water with "Don't want to Tri" and the mini pirates to see if they fancy a weekend away. I'll try and sell it by saying that I won't be taking a bike with us on the plane this time!

Red Stripe · September 2016

Cheers Lithium - you could always hire a bike there to keep wife off the plan ?!

I still count myself as an amateur and a latecomer Pirate.
I'm only going to vote if I have a realistic ambition to get to the official sailing. I'm realistic that semi-commitments aren't good enough.

As has been said, I feel special when I pull on the Pirate colours. Everybody knows and recognises us. It's an impressive marketing triumph. There's no need for a "club" name.

Which races do I fancy going to?
Lanzarote, Nice, Austria, Switzerland, Mallorca, Wales, and Outlaw.
Why? The opportunity for decent support and a party atmosphere, preferably with a good course.

One by one each got a negative mark, except Wales.
I can see why the UK races have less of a party atmosphere, it's that the morning after is like a hangover. Everyone staggers about, fails to meet up, and buggers off home. As far as I can tell the party is still going on in Mallorca.

Very much this ^^

Would love to make a Championships, but unfortunately a lot of mitigating factors (kids etc) tend to dictate my races ... so fo rme next year is Vichy, but will hope to make 2018 if decision is favourable.

Oh, and could I put in an early vote for it NOT to be Zurich in 2018, as we always take my old mum with us to these things, and she tends to get a bit twitchy if I start to show her brochures for Switzerland

Iron SwissBobby · September 2016

@ Boo why twitchy about switzerland???

Flat Footed · September 2016

It where you get old people put to sleep legally Bobby.

Iron SwissBobby · September 2016

Red Stripe · September 2016

LOL - good job the golden oldies didn't plan to go there next year.
