Condensation?

Besides how much more faster than 10 knots do you want to go?

The speedo rarely went below 8 knots! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

12?

Condensation?

What appears to be water ingress into the end of the wood on the forward bulkhead

A leaky main hatch.

I always photographs anything negative in case Chris makes mention to it in the copy and after publication the company says" that's not true" we have the pics to back it up.

The boat was hull no. 1 (or 2). So, as is often the case, it has a few things that need ironing out, but it should be sorted by the time it's in full production.

Sailing off the wind at speeds over 10 knots in full control, she handles like a dream, Rob Humphreys has designed a cracking sailing boat.

To find out what Chris thought of her see the December issue of Yachting Monthly

You've done it again, haven't you? I'm just bought the December PBO - go on, guess what the first and longest boat review is.

For crying out loud guys, would the occasional phone call between the two offices be too much to manage?

Paul apologised for this last month as soon as the error was realised, by the time it had happened it was too late to swap it for another boat test...Because we didn't have another boat test to go in its place, weeks of sunshine an no wind meant that 3 tests were cancelled.

As Paul says in the link above "Plans are now in place to avoid any such repetition between YM and PBO after the December issue."

So this should be the last time it happens.
