Border force cutters....

I just noticed on the RYA newsletter the article about the Border Force cutters becoming more conspicuous. On the photo the cutterappears to have a little gun at the front. Are they allowed to shoot you out the water? I thought that wasthe perogative of the navy?

They are not allowed to shoot you, fortunately, they have a water cannon on the front so I believe. At least all those dirty illegal immigrants they keep finding will get a wash before arriving on our shores.

I confess it reminded me of Grubbers little tank in "Allo Allo"... Anyway water cannon I guess could give the decks a wash....

And there is a changeover valve to connect the input to the holding tanks. Handy for jetskis. Planning to install one myself.
