Re: measurement certificate.

Thanks trebor for your reply. I have owned now 4 different Minisail type hulls[two complete craft], and they were/are all different. I think the Monaco Hull had flat edged side tanks as opposed to the rolled ones your Aquabat apears to have-excellent website incidentally. I may well drop out of the ...

Re: measurement certificate.

Re: Opportunity Knocks, End of season sale??

Great boats Streakers, excellent fun, can be a bit tricky downwind and get a bit of rock and roll on.
