The boat for Brexiters?  Portmanteau of "No EU".

Which rival boat seller has been playing with the strings?

The creases in that sail!
Is that the best it can do?
Mr North ought to be having words with whoever let it look like that on the stand.

Seems strange the the boat on the stand has a completely different cut of sail to the marketing blurb on their website.

It says it's a standard Quba hull but Neo could be built in "polypropylene/poluethelene mix for extra strength" (scan through the pics in the gallery). The foredeck, (so presumably the mast step too) is easily replaceable so it might be that a Quba hull could be upgraded?

The notes say that it is based on a quba hull... Just a rig upgrade basically.
