Isn't the Revenge (Sam Jennings' boat) a carbon fibre hull?
Speaking of which, how effectively do prop pockets focus propellor thrust, which would in theory increase manoeuverability?
Congratulations on taking on the stewardship of a beautiful classic. What do you mainly target, by the way? Many have said that unglassed wooden...
