I cannot believe that a journalist doesn't know how to spell "female". And you wouldn't mind so much, but it's spelt the same in the heading of the website article!

Thats disgraceful :shock:

The same paper as thinks a father and son can have the same mother (yesterday's post)? Has the paper relocated to Manchester yet - can we blame that?

Its a real shame that such a good bit of news is spoilt by poor spelling.

Will you all take this topic serious. A huge monumental thing has happened, the first female Commadore has been appointed at Liverpool Yacht Club, so to keep things in perspective, I want to ask an important question.

Quite frankly has good grammar ever been relevant to sailing skills? Stuff and nonesense if you ask me.:disgust:

irrelevant to sailing, I agree. But I'd suggest that grammar and spelling are more than relevant to journalism.

Or thay certainly used to be, anyway ...

Well to give everyone a bit more information, a new president was also elected at the same meeting to take over from the retiring Alastair Soane; Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. The first sailor to sail around the globe single handedly, star of 3 dogs, the man who brought the clippers to Liverpool, winner of many many sailing awards.

So exciting times.

If anyone is interested or if you want to come and have a gander at us leaving the lock: There is a race on Monday night starting 7.30. If you want to have a go at being on a race boat then email lyc_honsec@yahoo.co.uk or come down on a Wednesday night to the marina at 7.30 and ask at the bar.

Ask at the bar about sailing, but for your pocket`s sake don`t ask for a drink

I dunno its not too bad, Its cheaper than going to the albert dock or around town. Then again if its a cheap pint your after head to the novas centre as its a charity and so has very cheap ale. Or even go to the brewery tap for a Caining.
