I saw that boat at Filey and decided to try and hide small children when it was around in case they saw it & had nightmares. Ugly isn't the half of it.
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.

Yeah me too. I assumed they had a fear of getting wet (until I saw these pictures ) because it has more freeboard than any dinghy can possibly need. Anyone know why?

So presumably when there is two foot depth of water passing through it doesn't go all colonic and your bum stays dry

I guess you got to admire the guy for trying something different.

A bit of SMOD style marketing and it could be a winner!!
