Somebody's pride and joy being delivered

Used to get a fair number of these passing (slowly) by my front door, but not so many of late;

another Oyster then, i think deliveries have slowed down.

The article says it was a 78ft Fairline, however the picture is of a sailing yacht.

Besides, when did 78ft boats become super yachts? Granted, they're big buggers, but I always thought a super yacht would be a custom 100ft + beastie.

Edit:
Hang on, wasn't jfm's new 78ft Fairline Squadron due to be moved any time now?

What a coincidence, I was at Wroxham today and looking at a new Oyster outside the shed thinking, there's someone's pride and joy about to be delivered!!!

I think the reference to the Fairline related to a delivery some months ago that got stranded due to a problem with the trailer. This is definitely an Oyster.

So it is. That's what I get for skim reading.
