Apart from "being a trimaran" it doesn't look very much like the original ... wrong number of masts, for a start!
I wonder why they tarted up the design so much.
And complete with roller furling genoa! Very 1960s.
Here's another shot of the much more basic original. I wonder why they tarted up the design so much.
Apparently when it's not masquerading as Teignmouth Electron it's a private cruiser. Presumably will be again.
Marina confirmed today it is being used in the new film. Better keep SWMBO off the boat this weekend in case a dripping wet Colin Firth suddenly comes crawling up over the sugar scoop.
