I was at one of the boat shows and Ed was talking to one of his mates about all these mugs who bought shares in his boats

Didn't something irregular happen, like the company selling shares in boats which they hadn't got?

Whatever next? Ferry operators who don't actually own any ferries? No, that could surely never happen.

Was that the one with the Rigas Dizelis engine? I remember asking the manager of the share fleet about it circa 2000 when we were thinking of ordering a Rigas.

I think the one with the Rigas engine was called Spirit of Georgia!

Invincible in recent colours and when in Challenger livery.

 

Leaving out the rights and wrongs of what happened the Challenger boats were always immaculately turned out and I think they have good proportions.

Arthur's engine.

Looks like one of Walsh's Gardner rebuilds.

Pah! That’s just the Corniche. A hairdresser’s car...

The Challenger livery looks smart and I do like the lines of the hull and cabin.    If only they had done a reverse layout might have gone for one.....
