Is grey this seasons colour?

[landahoy]

In Dartmouth harbour this weekend there was moored up a a large power boat, about 60'. I'm sure this was a pleasure craft but as it was completley grey I was wondering if it was actually a military boat ?

Did anyone see it, & if so what did you think of it ?

I had the same thoughts.
When I first saw it coming in I thought that the Navy had a new toy and expected it to go up to the Collage moorings.
Then they seemed to take for ever to attach it to one of the large mooring buoys off the town quay

Did you recognize the ensign?
It looked like it was from some banana republic.

When we went past on our way to do some shopping we noticed that they had a big flat screen display on the aft bulkhead of the main saloon.
It had an advert for Microsoft showing at the time.
When we came back the blinds where closed.

If you have any pics, the mobo's can identify quickly. Or a name would do

I didn't have my camera with me.

I think the name was something like BRIGEAT or BRIDGET

Not much help but I saw something answering the description in Beaulieu about seven years ago.

That's a coincidence, I know Stefan Eriksson and Karl Freer.

They were bosses of Gizmondo UK - See here for more -

The last time I saw that Ferrari Enzo it was parked outside their plus offices on the edge of Farnborough aerodrome.

The last time I saw Karl Freer was at the E3 Video Games Expo in Los Angeles last May and immediately afterwards I wrote an article saying that retailers should not commit to sell Gizmondo, as the the people behind it were shakey - Not exactly my words, but there are more ways of skinning a cat. I, and a number of other journos, were to be proved correct in October, when the entire business went belly up.

As you can see, they did very well out of it, except luckily, the LA police seem to have their measure.
