Very well deserved.
I'm gonna be picky now, i followed the thread on the rejuvination of this classic boat....but i was ever so slightly dissapointed with the finished paint scheme, the sky blue was put on the deck but not on the hull, i am very intrigued as to why this colour was not continued through to the hull especially as this boat won the London-Monte Carlo in the Sky Blue livery. It's just an opinion of mine thats all, i used to watch this boat back in the 70's compete very successfully in class 2 even though i only really remember it vaguley in the Sky Blue livery, i remember it well in the 555 APACHE livery. I would truly love to see this boat in the full Sky Blue with white band livery again and then i would say "Job Done, an absolute British Offshore Legendary vessel restored to it's original specification"
Said that the boat still looks fantastic.
