As it’s so nearly Christmas, I’d like to make my request for a present!
If I could please have just one more boat, I’d REALLY like this one:

Gavin Atkin's weblog for the sort of people who like looking inside boat sheds. It's about old boats, traditional boats, boat building, restoration, the sea and the North Kent Coast
Hell's bells Gav, she a beaut. A Light Trow rival. Good to see the Beaumont Whaler tiller set up.
She's a very different kind of boat – thrills and spills is the name of her game, and I think she'd be challenging and fun to sail on a warm sunny day with just the right amount of sea breeze. And I'd love to see the looks on the faces of the Laser sailors when they saw how fast a traditional-looking boat can sometimes be.
The Light Trow will be much calmer work!

Yes, she's much narrower and sharper and with a greater sail area to length ratio, so obviously more zippy and probably more tippy too. Any rivalry would be in good looks and style.
That Apple looks tasty too.
