She will have a 80 seater restaurant and all cabins have had a makeover. She will be used to transport the championship freight and vehicles to the nearest port in which the races are held.

Just saw her in the gallery, nice to see an old girl continue to have a useful life.

Well that's a Disney ending for an old ship if ever there was one .... :o
|
She would of had trouble fitting meaningfully into last years timetable but I'm sure they know what they are doing. And an overhauled Mirrlees Blackstone elevates her to Formula 1 status.
|
She is presently moored in Poole.

She's always easy to trace - just follow the trail of black smoke from the K Majors and the RK 270s :smoking:
