Just before I get told off, absolutely nothing to do with me, but just wanted to say what an excellent service I have received from this company.
Have used them twice now couple of years apart and they are very good.
They are often found in the Solent and take photos of anyone they see, you then check out their website and find you boat (which I have found very easy to use). You can then order online

Credit where credit due, good job boat photo

My latest picture..........

Ha. Genius. Such an obvious idea once someone else has thought of it. Sit around in the sun taking photos of people's boats, and get paid too! Would you need to get your own boat coded to do this? Even if you weren't carrying passagers.

Good luck to them. They're not forcing you to buy the photos.

I'd be more worried by the kid sitting on the bow tube.

Well there is a thread on here somewhere discussing just that. As I recall there were mixed views, but it appears that those operating in the Solent (at least) are not typically coded - there are several people doing this.

Have you noticed that it looks like mostly the same group and helm in the Scorpion and Ribcraft?

I wonder these are test drives from a sales / brokerage outlet?

If so, that raises to me a wider range of issues re risk assessment and liability. Also if that's the case, what a shocking example to show to people buying a boat.

But maybe it's more important to look cool... Like the stud muffin in the Humber :o) http://www.boatphotos.co.uk/120726-h...wt7a9671#photo
