Actually it's Macbeth which is referred to as "The Scottish Play" by some thespians in order to avoid bad luck.

Read my post properly you idiot. I said that mentioning the name of the play MACBETH is believed to bring bad lack by certain thespians. I am not one of those people.

I think it is highly likely that some of the regulars on here have never heard of Shakespeare

Alas poor Yoric. Everyone has heard of Shakespeare, they are made by Francis Whitley in Kidderminster. The RSC moved from Stratford to Kidderminster and became the RIB Shakespeare Co.
They do not allow the smoking of cigars on these boats as Hamlet offends.

Yes but Phantoms were better!!!

Thought that was Webber & Rice, not Shakespeare!

What's that got to do with it?

Up and running - and all going well.

Have not seen her on the water myself yet, but just got these photos.

Looking good Adam

Is the console grp?

Any feedback on performance and handling etc yet?

My next project (if I'm daft enough to put myself through all that again!) would hopefully be an all aluminium version of my current (Arctic28)

Hi
The console, bolster seat and rear bench seat are all fabricated Aluminium!

I went out on her fairly soon after she was launched - and very pleased with her general performance. We were running around 55 mph, but more to come from prop work and also the engine is mounted fairly low. Really set-up as a quick cruising boat.

Handling felt very good - hopefully will get to test her in some rough water soon and also get some action photos. All credit to the owner and builder, Frank McLean, he has done a fantastic job and the boat just feels so solid. Aluminium fabrication work is about as good as you are going to see.

Will post some new photos as and when!

Good luck if you go for the Ali Artic 28!
