There’s no need to dither over your choice of newspaper today – for The Times has a boating supplement including articles by Chris Partridge of Rowing  for Pleasure fame, and myself.  Chris’s piece optimistically suggests a new generation of slender motorboats could revitalise the power cruiser industry, while I extol the army of brave folk who own and maintain traditionally built boats.
