It's a shame this is so focused on the superyacht side because there's an interesting story about the lower end where the spending power of the middle classes is declining dramatically. As a sport, sailing is in a lot of trouble if costs continue to rise as quickly as they have.

Saw this classic of the genre the other day

Possibly not the absolute worst but living within earshot of St James’s has rather radicalised me on the subject of Hypersonic Missiles by Sam Fender.

I want to update this to point out that Gaddings Dam - home of West Yorkshire's premier beach - was built 10 years before Wuthering Heights was written.

Some very early documentary photography of the event too.

Since you'll be nearby, I'm going to mention something small I keep meaning to investigate. The rustic, old stone wall connecting Dene Close to Jesmond Park west which seems to me most likely to be a survivor of the old pre-residential field boundary. Certainly matches the line.

I'd have thought the MERL would be pretty ok when it comes to "massive onion mobilisations"?

Very much enjoy how they've used the caption to make it easy to identify her in the photo.

An apposite timeline adjacency.

Contrary to received wisdom, there's definitely accounting for taste.
