Was talking with a mate about this the other night.

I wonder where that mould work was done? looks like a boat deck mould, or plug sitting under the car mould in one of those pics.

The unveiling looks like it was a Charlies house in Lymington, we went to a new years eve party there one year, he had an unbelievable firework display laid on.

Cliff borrowed Martin Mansbridge's Cat "Online Racing" and Navigator for the 96 Class 2 European's and that documentary. I think the programme was part of the "Modern Times" series on BBC2.

As far as I know the boat is still up at Nursling Industrial Estate on the M271 just outside Southampton....

Yeah, Lucy Jago was the name of the producer girlie. I think John Miller may have interfered with her a bit!

Martins Cunningham/Donohoo got re-decorated with a sledge hammer 'by someone'.
