I have been contacted by a number of unhappy Trader owners that all seem to have two things in common - their poor treatment from Emsworth and their love of the Trader boat itself - if it was working Ok they all rate the boat highly as I do.
I have now reached the stage will the latest hydraulic oil problems plus the hacking into the glass fibre of the hull problems were I am truly struggling to have any faith in the boat at all. My faith in the ability of Tarquin to properly, honestly and openly repair some of the problems has also gone.
My boat has well over 50 problems left a number of which are to do with sea worthiness and I shall be sitting around this Easter without a boat.
My campaign now is for a full refund plus a return of all my direct expenses over the last 16 months. I have written to Tony Chappell on this - all this correspondence is being published:

The shame is that the design and concept behind the boat is very good – all it needs is a better run business and it could be a real winner. From now on I am going to try and separate the boat from the problem – the real problem is Tarquin.
I apologise to Trader owners who may be suffering from this campaign of mine – I cannot let Tarquin hide behind their bad workmanship and service so as to continue their practices. In the long run, I hope it works out best for all of us.
