Yachting Monthly crash test boat
The 40' Jeanneau used in this ground breaking series has now been delivered from the London Boat Show to her final resting place. She is now at the International Boatbuilding Training College Lowestoft where she will become a permanent teaching aid on the Practical Surveying Course training tomorrow's marine surveyors. In this role she will be invaluable and our thanks go to Yachting Monthly, Robert Holbrook of Admiral Insurance and PSP worldwide boat transport for treating her so gently during her final journey!

If not duffers wont drown
I was very pleased to be asked to participate in the latest YM "crash test" event, seacock failure aboard the test boat. Quite a chastening experience and definitely focuses the mind!
