I do like the Swordfish Nessa - a stretched Firefly, so I would, I guess! I rebuilt one back in the early 90s, & have sometimes wondered about getting one - a prettier boat than the Applecore.

I don't know Rupert we have some of the most stunning albacores in the country at tewkesbury!  Including the last ever wooden boat, bad news.  Which is breathtakingly beautiful!

I dunno, the extra freeboard forward on the Applecore does make them look rather lumpy to me. Often beautifully built wooden lumpy, but still lumpy.

Was at the Beach Hut in Watergate 2 weekends ago, which is downstairs.

Not so cryptic, Jimbo - a reference to his restaurant chain where youngsters are trained, I assume?

The Beach Hut was quite expensive cafe food, really. Nice, but you are certainly paying for the location. No idea about the restaurant upstairs!
