The question most asked of a boat tester is: and you? Which boat would you leave in?
A difficult question, if ever there was one. The proof is with the selection which follows. The hardest thing has been to get all the members of the editorial team to agree on the choice of 10 new and 10 second-hand boats in which to set off.

But never forget that, as our favorite chief editor regularly repeats, the right boat is the one you leave in!
