    They are used for SKA Tournaments and 200 mile round trip day trips. The 33' do over 60 mph and cruise at 45 to compete with the narrower beam Fountains.

    I wonder if there were any jokes made about the slipway being constipated as they launched her?

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

    I present one of John Freeman's cruisers from 1967, as one of the prettiest vessels from 50 years ago. Why? Because I purchased Orpheus two days ago.
    We have plans to render Orpheus worthy of any myth, but first the British summer beckons.

    *Hoary winter shall bring raiments azure, that will bedazzle the very sun, when verdant spring next doth summon Man to float upon shimmering stream.

    * We're going to spray Orpheus dark blue & white.
