There I was, just finished tucking into a nice pizza at Brighton Marina this lunchtime, and this thing potters round the corner and ties up yikes

I thought they'd binned the program, after running some immigrants over??

No idea. Not many immigrants off Brighton AFAIK (may be a few further round at Eastbourne though hehe)

Stunning looking boat although I'd have gone with slightly wider outriggers. Mind you.. I'd not say no if they decided to give it to me

That look pretty amazing. I would love to see that one go up against the 1000hp+ Donzi that moors up in Brighton. Now that is monster!

Very nice, the 100% carbon neutral irritates me though.

Still if you were batman and that was the powerboat you'd need something a little different as Bruce Wayne for the normal day cruiser, like Project Sigma perhaps? wink

Crikey yikes

Trouble is, that boat would have too many hidey holes for that lazy bd Robin to hide in when there was a baddie to fight
