There's a new thing to be worried about - Killer Shrimp (see the RYA's website)
Apparently they hunt in huge packs and have been known to strip the flesh from sailors in seconds. One unfortunate chap at Grafham was launching his GP14 and was attacked in 2 feet of water - the rescuers heard his cries but were too late and found only the shreds of his wetsuit and a few gnawed bones.
GP14 sailors are most vulnerable because they are slow to react and smell a bit funny - probably the embrocation.
Lets hope there arent any in Canada to scare the beavers

Jerry,
I dont think there are many GP14s in Toronto anyway, however, given the average age of our fleet, there may not be a lot to attract the beaver either!

Let's hope that the Canadian authorities dont hear about the Killer Shrimp otherwise everyone going to the Toronto Internationals will have to be sterilised
