    At our sailing club there are 3 border collies who regularly appear, numerous Labradors, the group of king charles, and a scattering of other breeds.
    Sadly the group of collies in the avatar are no longer around, the last two went out on our motor boat but I think the rest would have liked it as a group.
    The boats I sail now are almost always during racing and are too small for racing with collie.
    The only problem we ever had, was with Baron Blue Moon, the collie in the centre of the avatar, he was so devoted to my wife he would always follow her around, fishing 70lbs of collie (dry weight) out of the river when he tried to follow her when she lept ashore mooring up was difficult!!
    We once caused great amusement at the club when we returned from a down river race (race to the pub, have dinner, race back again) on the way back it rained heavily and Odin( collie on left as you view picture) did not want to go inside SWMBO put a bright yellow oilskin on him complete with hat, a soggy collie in a small cabin is no fun! So we went over the finishing line with him sat bolt upright on a seat in the cockpit dressed for sailing.
