As far as I’m aware Ryan Giggs, a professional football player, is not and never has been a yachtsman. But just in case he decides to take up sailing I hope he will share his lessons learned with well known sailors who might face the same dilemma as he.

If, for example, Ben Ainslie, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston or Ellen MacArthur find that their names have been linked carnally with a person from a reality televisual show, then it would seem a bad idea to mask this association by the imposition of a super injunction.

However there may well be some sailors who would revel in the notoriety of such an association. For them the way forward is clear: apply to the courts for a super injunction.
