Once again this region is well represented in the nominations:

Restoration of the year: Hathor

Spirit of Tradition under 40ft: Kite & Rebel Reiver

Spirit of Tradition: Spirit 46

Power under 40ft: Lucy Lavers

Power over 40ft: Spirit P40

Not bad going!

The boat has to feature in some part of Classic Boat magazine. In the past support for a couple of boats from the Broads were solicited on another forum and I know Dan Houston was concerned about rigging of votes by people who never read the magazine. But Dan is no longer editor, so, who knows!

The above should read: That the boat should have appeared or featured in Classic Boat Magazine during the preceding year.

Sorry I did not make that very clear.

JA to follow in the footsteps of say spirit yachts who seem well represented you need to get yourself a part in a bond movie. I would warn you that as a motor boat you may have to do some things you might not feel comfortable doing to get into a bond movie. I'm not saying it's exploitation but many boats feel used and abused afterwards.

Used and abused eh? There are days when I feel quite abused I can tell you. Just look at this as an example...  there I am with it all hanging out and someone points a camera in my direction. Hardly my best side is it?

And now they are threatening to reduce my chocolate ration in case I get too big to fit through the barn doors!

I'll tell you Warp, I could fill an issue of Classic Boat Magazine!

Its not all bad though, Some of my new bits are really coming together now...
