Do you have standards on your boat?

No standards on my boat - apart from no smoking. Apart from the BBQ that is.

I have British Standard 997 on board so that I can consult appendix F to check that my samples are up to scratch.

No I didn't - just did not want to educate the philistines of some of the best - wanted to keep somethings quiet..

Edit - now that I think about it there was once a thimbleful on board for crossing the equator. Half to Neptune, of course.

You do a lot of singlehanded sailing, do you?

The trouble is that people who consider that maintaining standards is important tend to want to impose them on other people. They're not the sort of people I want to spend my spare time with (or any other time).
