At first glance they don't look particularly impressive in the drag coeff stakes, although 80 knots is certainly shifting. Last time I was sailing it was about 5 knots  ;D

Don't you think all this chucking lumps of lead at each other from reinforced Ford Prefects is a bit old fashioned. Now if someone would get a move and invent a decent  death ray and flying saucer  :y :y :y

I mean look at the money they would save.  ;D

A Greenpeace T-52 converted to run on pig manure, maybe?  ;) ;D


Oh, you don't mean adapting equipment, do you?  :-[ ;)
