Happy New Year Just back from the London boat show at Excel. Had a fantastic time and saw some great stuff but I have to say ''it's not for me''. Princess and Sunseeker had the biggest stands and whilst they were fantastic to look round I wouldn't trade Lady Jayne for any of them. If I knew it was gonna get r...

Hello everybody, I've just joined this forum because I'm a great admirer of Lochins, especially 33s, and hope to own one in the not too distant future.
