flamby,

Very interesting. Or, as my children would say, "COOL!".

Rode on it last summer.

Not sure what impressed me more - the fact that it moved something like 600 T of boat and water with less than 10 kw of power, or the fact that once more (at long last) something in the UK with a functional design could be such a tourist attraction.
