I think there's one of those berthed near me. I thought it looked pretty nifty in the flesh and the clip seems to endorse that. A tad spartan for my tastes but it looks like great fun.

Very nice - and not as spartan as a Botnia Targa by the looks of it

The dashboard/helm arrangement is nifty.

I didn't like the £110k price tag

Ah but by the time I retire there might be some keenly priced examples representing excellent value for a gentleman in his declining years.

You're missing the speed hit, aren't you? 35 knots in your declining years, admit it you're just a hooligan at heart, gagin' to go tearing through moorings in your new little range rover of the sea, just to upset Dylan

Even if you still have the urge to dash around at 40 knots you are unlikely to be able to afford it. Why don't reviews even hint at fuel consumption?

Tom, David - I thought we might go thirds and spend our pensions terrorising the south coast. Born to be mild and all that.

Affirmative. You may have seen one of these arrive recently, too.
