	It is interesting to see what of these brands is still about. Well Welsh Harp Dinghy Stores still there, ( but their ads arent as raunchy!), Sunseeker, they have gone on to better ( or is it bigger things? At least they have been sucessfull and not gone bust), and LM well, they decode to get out of boats and into wind turbine blades and exploded in size and ditched boats ( but you never know- the way the way the wind business is they may decide to cut their losses and return to their roots - this is a joke!)

	Ha the irony? There's nothing much different going on now than there was then, and they were selling more an attracting more folk to sailing - laugh that up...
