There are two fantastic boats that I know of that turned out to be everything that was expected of them.
The first is owned by Swansea Bay Sea School and the principal of the School was the friend of ours we introduced to Powercats Ltd as he was seriously thinking of purchasing some of their boats for the school as safety boats.
Unfortunately that is now unlikely to happen - a shame as the Powercat should have been ideal for the purpose. But alas reliability (such as being able to be sure it will not suddenly have a powercut underway) and safety (duh) are the most important features of safety boats and our experience with our Powercat 525 has not highlighted those features as particular prominent aspects.
Anyway back to more positive things.
The new Challenge Yacht has now arrived at the Sea School and will soon be delivering courses and making a real difference to under privileged teens in the South Wales Area. 
How's that for a gorgeous boat? I wish her all the very best and expect she will do a grand job for many years to come. I also predict that she will be just the start of a real move to improve the lives and prospects for many young people and that the ripple effects of that good, will benefit the entire population of the UK and even the world one day.
tomorrow I'll tell you about the second boat I referred to in the opening paragraph that turned out to be value for money and great fun, safe and well made (alas it isn't our Powercat 525)
