Jim Davidson on Aquaholic

[Alicatt]

Hands down the best Aquaholic video so far.

Can't agree with Jim on his 2004 Princess being an "old boat", though.
Mid noughties boats are in many ways the last of the best, before minimalist Ikea style took over - pretending it was fashionable, but for the one and only real reason of cutting costs. Which reflected also in basic construction corner cutting, btw.

Otoh, it was nice to hear that the captain of a type 45 destroyer suggested him the very same thing that I've been saying for ages!

As long as you keep your wires dry... can't be spilling your whisky on the way to check your gauges

Great video, and I've always found him to be a very funny guy. Very knowledgeable about his boat too. Knows what he likes.

What an excellent watch! A likeable guy who clearly loves his boats.

Enjoyed the video, JD is the salt of the earth, what you see is what you get warts and all and loves his boat - great fun....

The best Aquaholic yet, a good mix of humour and boat talk.

His interpretation of a dinghy on the stern…..”ugly as a baboon’s bum”

Lots of credit to Nick Burham too, in ensuring that the interview was about JD and his boat and not about the ego of the interviewer. Don’t see much of that these days!
