March-October wear for South Shields:  1mm neoprene 'rash vest' 2mm shorty, 1/2 length hikers, BA, spray top: NO PROBLEM!!  The faster the boat you sail the more you work, the less you need to wear!!, sail skiffs and save money on clothing (you'll need it for all the blocks etc you will ware out )
FLAT IS FAST!

Yes pies and lager do not help the wetsuit fit.

You could always buy a drysuit - there is always plenty of slack in those

Also does anyone want to take Harry out in mid January on a freezing cold reservoir and see if he only wears hikers

don't put wetsuits in a washing machine cos that does shrink them a bit...that's in your defence (bigwavedave!)

My wife can make anything shrink.

Is the amount a wetsuit shrinks directly related to the amount if pies and lager consumed?

Bigwavedave - wetsuits don't shrink in the wash!! Have you not noticed the comments in the changing room every spring when people say " I am sure this fitted last year!! "
