Is it me or is that boat quite low in the water? Looks like they forgot the bung and a boat full of water is very unstable.

Looks like it was great fun!  Smile

BTW, what is the singlehanded boat at 2'30" (the one with 'toy' in the sail) ? Is that an old IC10 ?

It's a TOY. Stands for Tony's Own Yacht. Designed by Tony Allen of Holt-Allen fame.

Nope, its a Toy. (Tony's Own Yacht).

When I was a lad, I really wanted one of those - looked very modern and exciting compared to everything else that was available at the time.

Nice one Nessa and Nik. Should have cut out the old git at the end though.
 
Shame you didnt get the bit where the lad fell off the plank and the TOY sailed on for 100yards without him.
Im sure it felt windier than the vid looks. Ouch
