Claire Frew has recently moved from ybw.com to Motor Boats Monthly.
Ben is Claire's (admittedly not so attractive but then am I allowed to say that) temporary replacement. He only got enabled today and is probably trying to do a million things at once as we are in the thick of boat show preview info gathering at present.
Ben is in the middle of a bunch of training working towards his Yachtmaster professional ticket. He's done quite a bit of boating with us over the past few months, is an excellent galley hand (just as well as he eats for Britain) and has broad-based interests in motorboating and yachting.
Quite what he will learn from Scuttlebutt who knows, but you'll see him mostly silently
lurking from time to time. As you know we don't alter that many posts...

...editor of our Yachting World and Sailpower sections, has been a moderator for a long time now. There's actually quite a few of us that stand watches but only one of us appears to have the forum equivalent of a big mouth (no prizes for guessing).
