Below everyone's screen name it says the name of a boat, I know that these names correspond to the number of posts (unless it says site admin or, in the case of littleluke, ...posts too much) but what are the boundaries and how many times will I have to post in order to move up from being a Japonica?

Welll....

I shall reveal all below in the image:

(although that's a very secret algorithm)

If you're really desperate to stay a Japonica I can promote you to a special rank! (for example, littleluke should be a Twinkler but he's 'posts too much' because he's special and I thought he needed explaining Wink

I think the twinkler rank should only be available for the Evans family

That's why Luke has '...posts too much' as a special rank Wink

not much more

no, and in other ways she's more of a pig to sail (being that much bigger)

I'd put Camellia above Lapwing - she's faster, easier to sail (being smaller) and pretty comfortable. Putting the 'Big' boats together would be logical, as well.

It wasn't ever meant to be too serious, really just an almost arbitrary pick of which boats Stephen and I liked the most - Lapwing's the only big boat on there because she's the one we've taken out over the summer (along with Camellia).

To be honest, I could just as well get rid of them and no-one would notice the difference!
