I'm not entirely convinced by the latest anchor thread:

Anchor Disinfection

In a world where the definition and punishment for fake news is so far out of proportion, how can anyone risk an April fools prank?

What about the one you posted about the River Medway?

Or the "Visitors to Dartmouth" one?

That's why I posted the link.

That's why I posted the link.

So why then post the comment "There has not been a single April Fools prank on the forum."?

Had you forgotten you'd posted earlier?

Solar panel sails

Not sure the joke isn’t on HR regarding that one - some boats have been delivered with at least patches of solar panel sails (Ancona and Spirt amongst others), and this is something a number of suppliers are actively developing so next April might be a production option.

Oh yes I did see them. That is why I was so surprised this forum was so devoid. I had been planning a couple and found one was a variation on one prank from over 10 years ago and the other turned out to be a product already being marketed. Good April Fools pranks take a lot of checking to make sure they are original.
