Wish I still had my old job at Seagull - would have loved to try and take the Chinese manufacturers to court!

Actually there are probably more Seagull fanatics down under than here. Splendid collection in a museum in Wanaka, right up in the Southern Alps in New Zealand.

I think "try" is very much the operative word. I don't think the Chinese legal system would be particularly interested in punishing one of their own companies for your benefit.

Exactly! That's why I made the remark. In my time I had to deal with Argentinians making perfect copies of the real thing. in fact not perfect, infinitely better. Had no luck stopping them either.

I remember selling a dodgy Suzuki in order to buy a Seagull, harping back to my youth on Strangford Lough. I spent most of the time trying to keep it running or getting it to start, or to stop fuel leaking, or ... or....

I now use a Tohatsu 2hp which started on the first pull after 2 years of non-activity.

OTOH when the SG was working, the noise brought back memories!

Bermuda has an annual Seagull race! Sadly they didn't run last year when we were there due to bad weather....

Regular races in New Zealand. Also in Devon in the past - not sure whether they still run.

Isn't there one in Fowey too?
