I now realise that there is absolutely no point in asking anyone for their opinion on a particular boat. Everyone loves their own boat too much to be objective. It seems to me that when the time comes to get a new one, the best course of action is to involve no-one and just order it. Listen to no-body but yourself.

Not a bad idea in my experience!

Aw, won't you tellus then? Anyway, whatever boat you get, I bet it wil be fab.

However, I take no responsibilty for it breaking, and I personally would not have bought it.

Now, now. Listen to everyones opinion, take them on board, analyse them, compare and contrast, question them and then do what you were going to do in the first place.

I'm not telling you. You would only say that it was not any good. Even though it definitely would be! Tell you what. I will give one clue a day to it's identity and the one who gets it first wins a slap up sandwich at The Folly.

Clue 1. British built.

Oh Dear !!

I have a simple solution ... I can't afford it anyway ... keeping 3 boats going is enough without changing any !!

Clue 1 - British built - That narrows in down just a tad !

Legend.

Either the Hunter version of the American owned lot now built in Weymouth.

See I get two attempts for a single guess!

Err - how about a 70' Sunseeker, with three storeys, a jacuzzi, and his'n'hers jet skis parked in the transom garage?

PS - please mister, can I have a go?

Re: raggies in stinkpots

This is always great fun: either to vent their frustrations, or possibly because sailboat engines tend towards being "on" or "off", or possibly because a large portion of time on a sailing yacht is to make it go as reasonably quickly as possible...the very fastest powerboats boats on the water are being driven by raggies!

So, I was very disappointed that the boat-swap feature in the mags recently was so tame: the stinkies should have put up all the laundry and had a knockdown, followed by being driven over by the cackling raggies in a powerboat, who then beached the powerboat at high speed as they were watching the sinking sailboat. Would have made a much better article, imho.
