I read too many books on those days of but you are right. HMS Hebe (not a very successful class of ship) was one of the slowest Torpedo Gunboats (The Class gave way to HMS Speedy) She anchored for (dates disputed) to hold off a storm. I find it slightly ironic, a boat that was nothing but a disappointment in later parts of her career became namesake to HHYC.

Used to be a great place, and still is to a degree. If you put a $15000 ski boat on a hard stand and whinge about the rats then do something about it yourself people!

With the rates and complaints that flow through PPRUNE I think that some people need to understand both "over-captialisation" and "you get what you pay for".

Though enough of that - I reckon said subject belongs elsewhere.
