I am happy to say I saw my new boat on the stand at the show . The pictures may or may not be very good but we shall see.

Brave New World has now arrived.

 

More pictures will follow or you can see the boat for real at sailboat

Just to let you all know the originals of the pictures posted by 'Brave New World' are being sent to the Osprey class web master for posting on the class web site www.ospreysailing.org.uk . Hopefully they will be made available in a couple of days, Royal Mail willing.

Before you all ask for pictures of the boat sailing, I have been told that there are less than a handfull and cannot be available until after the London Boat Show as the man who has them is manning the stand

The drip feed of information continues

Calum,

The problem is you have more to control than in a Lazer - The are three sails not one to control!

Look closely at the background of the photos above and you might see Pierre standing there, a longing expression on his face.

Thumbs Up Thank you for this, Pierre! xxx

Hi y'all.  C'est moi !!!!!   Well a most enjoyable day out, and I wasn't dissappointed with the Mk4 Osprey.

The photo above was taken on my phone so it won't be great quality.  (I did take the go-faster Canon with me but discovered upon arrival that one of my offspring had removed the memory card.  He can pay for his own b****y university fees from now on!!)

I sent it to BnS and she has obniously taken it off hers, so perhaps she could oblige? (As she is a talented and attractive lady )

I did take a couple of more as well. 

Anyway, as I say, the boat was great and at a very reasonable price.  Mark Hartley was very helpful and allowed me a good poke round. It's OK Nick, I wiped the saliva and finger marks off.

I won't go into hype mode, but the boat is well worth a look at even if you only believe in assymetrics Plenty of room for two decent sized people and a choice of 3 different internal layouts and external colour schemes. (However, I still think the shade of blue on my Osprey is lovelier .  I shall be trying to scrounge a go at the earliest opportunity.

(Might go back later this week so will try again with the camera and a memory card this time)

Cheers  P

So Pierre can we expect to see you sporting a shiny new Mk4 at the SGP this year?

Do you know if the Mk4 is going on the builders stand or the Fastsail stand at Ali Pali?

Hi Paul.  The new Mk4 will currently require some negotiation on the home front.   (if you know what I mean  . Soon had my bubble burst on that one)

As to the dinghy show, there will be a Mk4 on the FastSail stand and 2 x Mk4's on the Hartley Laminates stand.  So 3 in total.
