    so who buys them?

    I’d not buy a new production boat even if I could afford one. In general I think they look and feel cheap and empty.

    Scotland proving especially popular this year (at least to midges!)

    Bullsh*t…..I’m in the forest 2 or 3 days a week and there are less around than a normal summer. Ticks though…worse than last year. I now wear permethrin treated clothes and use Tick Magic to keep the wee ‘stards off.
