2nd Skandia sponsored boat to loose its keel in a month, not very good for them!

Yes, maybe the bottom is falling out of the investment market! Reminds of the time, years ago, when the London Rubber Company sponsored some motor racing and their car had a puncture on the first lap!

Jokes apart, really tough on Moloney, especially as he had done all the hard work.
