Having build the boat and worked on it for 2 years I find the bleeding
media waffle totaly wrong. The Dineing Room will only seat 24 but you can have 100 on the Aft Deck with a Band. It was built in an East German Warship Yard where you were checked in and out by the Stazi and KGB in either our clapped Sierra estate or my hire A8 (paid for)... still couldn't keep up with the Designer's SL500 ...Hamburg Airport....Berlin..Turn left...Rostock...Peenemunde in 4 and a half hours. Any one quicker?

That's utter Cack .....Sorry...Uncle Klaus had to pull over and show me how the lights on an A8 (in German) works and the Sport setting on the G/box had to be held down. Still to this day have no idea what half of any of the buttons mean.

You weren't working on Leander during 1999-2000 were you?

I had a nosey around Leander when she was in dry dock in Portland (or could've been Plymouth, I know it began with a P).
A pal from Nautical college was a deck hand and snuck me in for a shufty, very impressive bit of kit, amazing what you can achieve when money is no object.
