What would your favourite yacht be?

That (not the boat) reminds me of the way they save space, transporting new Transit front-ends, on ro-ro ships.

The pedant in me feels obliged to point out that those aren’t Transits. They’re Peugeot Boxers.

In terms of wooden boat snobbery we all know that a Fife is a vintage Bentley and an Albert Strange is a Frazer Nash. After that it’s all gently downhill, in Britain, with the Eventide as the Morris Minor and the Westerly Centaur as the Ford Cortina.

….and the Contessa 32 is a Morgan.

Small, outdated, not very comfortable, but a joy to behold and a pleasure to own.

before the villagers chase me out of town with pitchforks, I mean this most respectfully. I love both, having raced extensively on Co32s, and owned a Morgan 4/4 for 5 years.

But the Contessa isn't wood.



On that basis, a Mirror dinghy is a Sinclair C5.

Surely that would be the Optimist.

 

[Greenheart]

Would certainly need to be one.

The contessa contains rather more wood than a Morgan

 

[Greenheart]

Probably more metal too.

Peugeot Boxers? Surely they are the fabled Pushmepullyou made famous within the Doctor Doolittle book! ??

According to Peugeot owners I've known, SWMBO's father amongst them, it'd be a Push-Me-If-You-Can-Start-Me.

Maybe that's the beauty of the double cab. One of the engines is sure to start.
