Hear hear! - I'm sure. But could you share the news, Clem, so that we all know what we are cheering about?!

WELL DONE, and very well deserved, Matt and Co!!

I made a bit of a fool of myself in my post above. The explanation (said he defensively) is that I have a direct link (a so-called 'bookmark') on my Mac to the forum, and therefore don't routinely go there via the website. Also, rightly or wrongly, I wouldn't normally expect hot news to be on the website! However this is a very special case, and I should have looked.

How to take the States by storm!! Fantastic.

Proud and secure in the knowledge that our purchase is probably a good financial investment as well as a joy to own and sail.

I wonder if i can work on the other half with this news to soften her up for a Baycruiser purchase alongside the Bayraider.

Every single time I go sailing there are people asking me where the BR was built. I tell them. They should be queuing now on Gwbert Rd.

Bravo !
