Nah...it's not mine! A mate of mine, who builds special Landies for fun (!) had it out on test....lot of fun though.. another chap who "has plenty of experience" blah, blah, blah.. nearly chucked us out in a hard turn when he powered on with lots of down trim...mmm.. interesting to see him fly across the boat whilst the rest of us were hangin' on tight...

You "hardboaters", you like a laff, don’t you…
