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!

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...
