According to the press release , the original manufacturers are all ready lined up and ready to go . Looks like RS are very keen to supply the parts market for the 50,000 boats already in the market

	Had a Pico for nearly 20 years; finally sold it to a sailing school. Great little boat, especially with the "race" sail on it. My club staged a PY>1200 regatta last weekend so the kids club could challenge the adults ... I borrowed a club Pico, it sank ( no bung!) Light winds so the toppers won. Anyway, hope Jo can find someone to make them. Vagos less so .. they were never good once rotomoulded.

	Thought about this through the day, Topaz or Pico, think the Topaz wins on most counts. Speaking from an adults point of view.

	Glad the Pico is making a comeback, always had a soft spot for it, and not just the one behind the mast.

	Have just seen an announcement that Jo Richards has regained the rights to his designs that used to be sold by LP. On the face of it , this seems great news for current and future owners of Vagos, Bugs, Bahias and Picos . Especially given the supply problems these boats have had in the last few years .
