Howards Way Sealine 285

I can remember doing the "special" one off graphics for a Fletcher and another boat (the type of which escapes me now, but bonito rings a distant bell) which was lying at the Dorset Yacht Co. Along with the Sadler Barracuda and MG Spring 25, both of which at the time were very new, and state of the art.

The Fletcher and unkown boat were used in a "staged" power boat race, the graphics being intended to try and disguise the actual makes.

Funny... I always thought that Chris Coleman was the guy at the helm of the 285 in the closing credits. Looked very much like him.

The original had V8's so I am assuming this has? if it is this one the name has been re done in different script.

I do remember the "original one" on the Thames for a few years?

Yes you are correct i changed the script in April this year.
And she still has V8's in.
They were renewed this year .
She went down to Southamphamton around 2002 and was at Bray on the Thames before this.
