Robert,

Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for drawing our attention to it. I never knew a urine-impregnated drysuit could be sold for so much.

The seller is obviously a card. The Q&A session is brilliant and the best I have ever seen. Wonderful humour. Robert, is that you by any chance?

Well that got a good few comments didn't it!

I stand corrected on the older boats.

I note that 2009 is one of the sticking boats & I think my comment about the new market being stagnant sadly still stands, so we are not increasing ownership / participation unless a boat is found covered in dust in a garage.

It's a container load of boats we need to get sold to new members to further envigorate the class as well as keeping the old boats going.

It's almost a double edged sword that renovated boats are as fast as new boats & 1/4 the price...

Not guilty, your honour. I just hope the bids are genuine!
