If we get anything remotely like whats proposed, you won't be long spilling your G&T.
There was an element for years that saw the NSR as some form of sailing club. Like the Tea Drinkers of the army reserve, these folk wouldn't be seen dead in a drysuit, because it would hide the shoulder boards when they needed to visit the local YC for the inevitable "debrief". Spending weekends on ageing STYs marshalling the local regatta was their idea of Naval activity.
If it works out as is hoped, the Naval Reserve will have to get in early to book time with the craft, such will be the usage from other Naval Units.
I too am optimistic about this asset.
